If the symptoms you are having are improving every day, then give it a little more time to completely resolve. If the symptoms are not getting better, or if they do not completely resolve in a few more days, then see your doctor to be certain that something else besides the cream are causing your symptoms. Best of luck to you!

Hemorrhoids or the treatment (2.5% Hydrocortisone cream) shouldn't cause these penile symptoms. Other infections like Candida (yeast, thrush), local bacterial infections or viral infections, such as genital herpes can certainly affect both sites. If there is a possibility of Venereal disease, that should be considered too. If your symptoms do not rapidly improve it would be wise to reassess.
