Is it ok to use hydrocortisone cream on your eyelids for open pores?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Eyelid steroid: Topical Hydrocortisone cream can be used on eyelid skin for a short duration safely. Topical steroid is not a standard therapy for "open pores" so i would see an eye doctor prior to initiating this therapy.
