A member asked:
Is it ok to use hydrocortizome cream on toddler lips that are dry, cracked and bleeding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I wouldn't: That tissue is too absorbent and the HC would likely cause tissue thinning and worsen the issue eventually.Use a barrier lip balm , preferably one that tastes bad so the kid will stop liclikg the lips.
