There really is no OTC equivalent to Desonide Lotion. There are topical corticosteroids that are OTC that reduce redness and itching such as CortiCool and Hydrocortisone.

Is hydrocortizone the same as desonide 05?

They are both steroids - typically used topically for skin problems. Hydrocortisone 2.5% (prescription) and 1% (over-the-counter) are group VII, the weakest class of topical steroids. Desonide, even at a much lower .05% concentration is actually a stronger group VI or V topical steroid. The group VI vs V classification difference appears to be related to the medium the drug is suspended in. Whether the steroid is applied in a lotion, cream, or ointment affects how potent it is to the skin of a patient.
