A member asked:
Difference between cortisone and hydra cortisone ? can hydra cortisone creams be used regularly? doing wonders to my skin!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends...: The two drugs are slightly different in that hydrocortisone is just a little more potent. However, both work similarly. As to using them regularly, the question becomes why the need for continued use. If you have a skin condition that is present whenever you do not use the cream, then it is a good idea to see your doctor about it so that it can be better assessed. There may be a more appropriate treatment.
