A member asked:
I have a sore on the inside of my lips. can i put 1% hydrocortisone cream on it?

Not a good idea to use a cream intended for external use inside your mouth/lip. Best would be to have your sore examined and treated properly. Orajel can be used for temporary pain relief and will be a better alternative to hydrocortisone 1%.
