A member asked:
Can i use cortizone (hydrocortisone) for my yeast infection (small infection)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not by itself: while cortisone lowers itching/inflammation, it does so at the cost of lowering immunity. this will impede the body's ability to fight infections especially the yeast infection. Combinations of anti-fungal medicine WITH steroids are available.
