How Hydrocortisone Cream Works
Hydrocortisone is a mild corticosteroid that reduces inflammation in the skin. It lowers the release of substances like histamines and prostaglandins that cause redness, swelling, and itching. This helps calm irritated skin and provides quick relief from allergic and inflammatory conditions.
