Is it ok for me to have put prescription hydrocortisone cream on my knee that has a large scrape? it's throbbing after i put it on. thank you!!

Scrape: hydrocortisone is an anti-inflammatory I would not put that on your scrape if you need to put anything on it I would use a antibiotic cream like Polysporin (bacitracin and polymyxin)
