  • Avoid Sensitive Areas: Use hydrocortisone creams cautiously on the face, groin, and other sensitive areas, as prolonged use in these areas can increase the risk of side effects.

  • Consult a Healthcare Provider: If you're unsure about using the cream or if your skin condition is severe, consult a healthcare provider before use.

  • Skin Monitoring: Regularly monitor your skin for any signs of adverse reactions, such as thinning of the skin or increased irritation.

  • Discontinue If Needed: If your symptoms worsen or if you experience any adverse reactions, stop using the cream and consult a healthcare provider.
