A member asked:
I'm having extreme fatigue for the past 3 days same time i started topical hydrocortisone. can extreme tiredness and shortness of breath be a side e?

Not typically: It is not a typical side effect. Especially if it is only being used for three days. Hydrocortisone cream can eventually cause this if used in large amounts for long periods of time. I would recommend that you see your general physician to discuss your symptoms if you are concerned.
