A member asked:
Is it safe to use hydrocortisone 1% on the anus once - twice daily? without weakening/thinning skin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No more than 5-7: after which your symptoms should be gone: I also recommend sitz baths 3-4 times daily with 1-2 lbs of epsom salts in 4-8 inches of warm water for 10-15 minutes.
