Get Westcort Online

Westcort (hydrocortisone valerate 0.2%) is indicated for corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses, including atopic dermatitis, eczema, contact dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, and psoriasis of the skin. Your physician will confirm whether your specific condition is appropriate.

Westcort cream or ointment is typically applied in a thin layer to the affected area two to three times daily. It should not be applied to the eyes, face, groin, or underarms unless specifically directed by your physician, and should not be covered with an occlusive bandage without medical guidance.

Many patients notice a reduction in itching and redness within a few days of starting Westcort. Significant improvement in skin appearance may take one to two weeks. If there is no improvement after two to four weeks, your physician should re-evaluate your treatment.

Prolonged use of topical corticosteroids like Westcort can cause skin thinning (atrophy), stretch marks, perioral dermatitis, and, with extensive application, systemic corticosteroid effects such as adrenal suppression. Your physician will guide you on safe duration and tapering strategies.

Westcort is generally not recommended for use in children under 12 without specialist guidance. Children have a higher skin surface area to body weight ratio, increasing the risk of systemic absorption. Doctronic prescribes only to adults 18 and older.

Over-the-counter hydrocortisone products are typically 0.5% or 1% strength and lower potency. Westcort contains hydrocortisone valerate 0.2%, which is a chemically modified ester that delivers mid-potency anti-inflammatory activity stronger than standard OTC hydrocortisone, making it more effective for moderate inflammatory skin conditions.
