Hydrocortisone oint: You have 3 cortisone ointments, but 2 of them (dermovate and dovobet) should not be used in the genital area, because the skin is too thin. The Hydrocortisone is milder, and is safer for use in that area. However, i feel you need to talk to your dermatologist about possible systemic therapies for your psoriasis, .
