A member asked:
Can using too much cortizone (hydrocortisone) 10 cream otc cause similar side effects as using systematic steroids... excessive hunger, urination & weight gain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: It is very unlikely that one could absorb enough cortisone with over-the-counter cortisone creams to cause any significant systemic effects. However this can occur with much more potent prescription steroid creams.
