A member asked:
Is it safe to use cortizone around or on the testicles? i get a rash/stubs after shaving in that area. i'm looking to try it and see if it helps

Only short time: OTC hydrocortisone for a few days is OK. Learn your lesson and STOP SHAVING THERE! Prolonged use, especially with potent steroids, will cause severe thinning of skin with purple stripes.
