No: Only your pediatrician or specialist they refer you to should instruct you about whether Hydrocortisone is appropriate for your child.

Caution : Be vary careful using topical Hydrocortisone on a baby. It can be harmful if absorbed into the system. If you are treating hives or some skin allergy a safer option is calamine lotion topical.
