Can hydrocortisone be used for fever blisters?

Not by itself. Hydrocortisone is an anti-inflammatory agent and will help with the itching. In conjunction with cold sore medication (acyclovir) will help reduce the length of the infection. --Original Homeopathic Solutions: No. A cold sore is a viral infection, and hydrocortisone is for fungal or yeast infections. if you have a cold sore, use a cream specifically for that, or many people have found relief using tea tree oil applied several times a day to the area. Tea Tree oil is a natural remedy found in health stores and drug stores.
