A member asked:
Is it safe to use hydrocortisone 1% cream on penis glans for itching?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Short Term Steroid: Yes it is quite safe, though prolonged symptoms or recurrence of same should be investigated by an MD. Skin atrophy is quite unlikely with 1% HC, though chronic use should be avoided.
