Slight stinging at the time of application probably has nothing to do with the hydrocortisone -- more likely related to other ingredients in the cream or ointment. However, probably you shouldn't be on the stronger version if the 1% cream is effective; and usually not on the stronger type unless prescribed by a doctor. In that case, ask the doc. Good luck.
