A member asked:
Can hydrocortisone 1% be used for dry skin on the eye lids? if so for how long?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Carefully: Hydrocortisone 1%, despite the disclaimer on the tube, can be used lightly on the lids. Take care to avoid getting it in the eyes. It is not the best remedy for skin that is simply dry but if there is some aspect of eczema or inflammation, it might be helpful.
