"This is a question for your Vet"

Obviously Vets are not frequenting this site. There are Hydrocortisone sprays and creams available on line via many of the "Pet Medication" sites. My vet actually has a cortisone injection he gives to one of our cats. As to if is OK to put what is intended for human use be careful as while the Hydrocortisone could be beneficial what is used to make up the cream or spray that delivers it may not.

Hydrocortisone cream needs to be applied to the skin to be effective. Considering that most dogs have hair covering their body, it may be necessary to shave the area where it will be applied. This should all be discussed with a veterinarian before doing anything.

Yes. But make sure the dog does not ingest it. I would suggest putting a cone around his head.
