Overview Hyddocort 1% Cream

DermaCort 1% Cream, a topical corticosteroid, effectively manages mild to moderate inflammatory skin conditions like eczema. This medication inhibits the release of inflammation-causing agents, alleviating swelling, redness, and itching. Apply DermaCort 1% Cream externally only, as directed by your physician. Cleanse and dry the affected area before applying a thin, even layer. Avoid application to broken skin or open wounds. Consistent use maximizes therapeutic effects. Prevent contact with eyes, nose, and mouth; rinse thoroughly with water if contact occurs. Unless instructed otherwise, avoid occlusive dressings. Generally well-tolerated, minor side effects like burning, irritation, itching, or redness at the application site may occur, typically resolving spontaneously. Persistent or worsening symptoms warrant medical attention. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should seek medical counsel prior to use.
