Re: HC OTC cream/ointment?

[Guest guest]

We're using the cream b/c the ointment is greasy - I tried it and it

doesn't rub in like the cream does. I also tried gel and didn't feel

like I got enough cortisol from it.

Yabut - You cannot just slather it all over. It needs measured. If your cream

is 1%, that is it.

1/4 tsp = 10mg hydrocortisone.

>>>I have eczema so If I get some cream for it with hc

in it will help my adrenals? How cool that would be

Mine just is Equate Hydrocortisone 1% cream from wally-is eating-the-

world I have also used Kroger brand Hydrocortisone cream 1% from the

local grocery store. And yes, it is the exact same cream used for

eczema, etc. I don't use the Cortaid or Cortizone brands because of they

are considerably more expensive.

What is the 'normal' amount to put on? 1/4 tsp or 1/2/ Trial and

error? I will just make sure I put it on the eczema and kill 2 birds

with one stone .

Normal amounts ot use depend on the dose of HC you are replacing wiht

it. It is POTENT! 1/4 tsp 1% HC cream contains 10MG HC.
