What Is Locoid?
Locoid (hydrocortisone butyrate) is a prescription medication used to manage eczema and other corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses. It works by binding to glucocorticoid receptors in skin cells, reducing the release of inflammatory mediators that cause redness, swelling, and itch. With the right dose and ongoing monitoring, most patients experience significant relief of symptoms and improved skin comfort.

Is Online Locoid Treatment Right for You?
Doctronic can evaluate you for Locoid (hydrocortisone butyrate) if you have a history of eczema or another inflammatory skin condition such as contact dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, or psoriasis that has been previously diagnosed by a clinician. Patients seeking a new prescription or a refill may be eligible after an AI-guided evaluation reviewed by a licensed physician.
Because topical corticosteroids affect skin barrier function and can have systemic effects with prolonged use, your clinician will review your skin history, the affected body areas, prior corticosteroid use, and any conditions such as thinning skin, rosacea, or perioral dermatitis that could affect treatment safety.

Frequently asked questions
Locoid (hydrocortisone butyrate) is indicated for the relief of inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses, most commonly atopic dermatitis (eczema), contact dermatitis, and seborrheic dermatitis.
Apply a thin film of Locoid to the affected skin area two or three times daily, as directed by your physician. Gently rub it in and wash your hands after application. Avoid contact with eyes, and do not use it on broken or infected skin unless instructed.
Many patients notice reduced itching and redness within a few days of starting Locoid. More significant improvement in skin appearance typically occurs within one to two weeks of consistent use.
Locoid is a mid-potency corticosteroid and should be used on the face only under direct physician guidance. Prolonged use on facial skin can increase the risk of skin thinning, telangiectasia, and perioral dermatitis. Your doctor may recommend a lower-potency alternative for facial areas.
Common side effects include local burning, itching, irritation, dryness, and folliculitis at the application site. With prolonged or excessive use, skin atrophy, stretch marks, and systemic absorption effects are possible. Always use the smallest effective amount for the shortest duration.
Doctronic treats adults 18 and older. For pediatric use of Locoid, please consult your child's pediatrician or dermatologist, as children may absorb more medication through the skin and are at greater risk for systemic side effects.
Doctronic uses an AI-guided evaluation to gather your medical history and symptoms.
