Hydrocortisone usage
I have been using Hydrocortisone on my face for a couple years now. Almost every single day. I use it to control my extremely dry and flakey skin mainly on my Jose and mouth area. My face seems so dry and it's getting permanently red and frail. So I need some advice. Thank you

Stop using hydrocortisone. Its not good for face. Your face will gradually become red, thin and will get full of fine hairs. Stop it, it has lot if side effects. Right now use sunscreen lotion of medicated brand in morning and day time. And in night use plain emollient. Do this for two weeks and then review. Stop using hydrocortisone. Its not good
