Can I use hydrocortisone on genitals?

[Notthinkingclearly]

I have eczema and currently have a patch on outer labia. Can I use hydrotrisone on it? Packet says no but then it's says not on face either so wanted to know if anyone uses it?

On the outside skin it might be fine. Not inside.

No! I work in a pharmacy. It's to strong for the face and genitals. Talk to your gp and they can prescribe something.

Thanks all but I have much stronger steroids for my face so that's why I am confused.

Yes you can

I ve had it prescribed for down there. It was a 1.5% though

Thanks spendsome. This is 1 % so hopefully ok for the weekend until I can see dr on Monday. I will use sparingly.

Twice a day for 7 days i had it for. Was area before applying each time.

Also try hydromol soap free liquid bath additive to wash with in future. Its for eczema and has stopped a flare up since

Thank you for advice spendsome.

Yup you can
