Can you tell me if i could use 0.5% hydrocortisone cream on my penis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
0.5% hydrocortisone: Low potency steroids such as 0.5% Hydrocortisone cream are generally safe to use on sensitive areas such as the face and pubic regions if applied sparingly and for short periods of time. However, steroid creams can make fungal and some viral infections worse, so monitor rashes closely while using it.
