RE: Re: Cheri - questions on HC Cream

[Guest guest]

Either stop using it or measure the cream you are using and count the

cortisol in your total dosage...which means cutting back on the other HC.

1/4 teaspoon of 1% hydrocortisone cream = 10 mg cortisol

I apologize as I am a little behind in my reading, but this caught my

eye. I'm not sure where you all live, but if you have a Stop N Shop

near you, they carry the Cortaid 12 hour advanced anti-itch cream.

This is where I think I may be messing up. I was on 30 mg of HC,

weaned to 25 mg but that is all I have been able to do. I've been

getting a rash behind my knees and inner legs so I've been using the

Cortaid for quite some time, not thinking this may be messing up my HC

dosing. I only apply it in the mornings after my shower. Should I

stop?
