Should i use hydrocortisone around my eyes?

Use caution: There is a risk for developing cataracts when using steroid creams in or around the eyes. Also, they will cause thinning of the skin with prolonged use (skin around the eyes is very thin to begin with!). Hydrocortisone is a very mild steroid, and may sometimes be used, but often doctors will use other medications to prevent these effects. Talk with your doc before using any med around your eyes.
