A member asked:

Can hydrocortisone 1 cause thinning of thebskin on a 7w girl? dr. prescribed cream for flare ups and used for 11 days, stopped, and now skin is worse.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dry Skin: Have your doctor write for Elidel (pimecrolimus) Cream which is anti -inflammatory but not a steroid. Since Elidel (pimecrolimus) Cream is not a steroid, it can be used every day.
