Get Cortizone-10 Online

Cortizone-10 (hydrocortisone acetate) is used to relieve itching, redness, and inflammation associated with skin conditions such as eczema, contact dermatitis, psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, insect bites, and minor skin irritations.

Hydrocortisone acetate works by binding to glucocorticoid receptors in skin cells. This suppresses the production of inflammatory chemicals such as prostaglandins and cytokines, which reduces redness, swelling, and itching.

Apply a thin layer to the affected area and gently rub it in, typically two to four times daily or as directed by your physician. Avoid applying to broken skin, eyes, or mucous membranes unless specifically instructed.

Many patients notice a reduction in itching and redness within one to three days of starting treatment. More significant improvement in skin appearance may take up to one to two weeks of consistent use.

Common side effects include mild skin burning, stinging, or dryness at the application site. With prolonged use on large areas, there is a risk of skin thinning, stretch marks, or systemic absorption. Follow your physician's guidance on duration and area of application.

Cortizone-10 is a low-potency steroid and is generally considered safer for use on the face and skin folds compared to higher-potency steroids. However, you should only use it in these areas under physician guidance, as even low-potency steroids can cause skin thinning with prolonged use.
