Hydrocortisone cream is not a sensible choice to assist in wound healing. Instead, keep the lesions covered and use a mild soap. Make sure you're eating well, and avoid sun exposure.

Can you give benadryl to your dog while using hydrocortisone cream?
I have heard mixed things from vets about giving Benadryl to canines. From what I have been told, a lot of it has to do with the size of your dog. Their systems are totally different than ours, so dosing per weight would not be the same either. It really is best to go to the vet and find out what is causing the problem. They may even be able to hook you up with meds that will work better on your dogs symptoms than anything you may able to self medicate him/her with.
Will cortizone 10 get rid of ring worms?
No, steroid creams may make it look a little better for a day or two, but it will soon worsen. Ringworm is a fungus, and Cortizone 10 is basically an anti-inflammatory - it won't cure a fungal infection. Talk to your pharmacist about over the counter treatment for ringworm.
Should you use clotrimazole or butenafine hydrochloride on jock itch?
I read a study that said both drug are affective, but Butenafine heals faster. It would make sense (though I've never tried it) if one switched between them day to day. That way the infection wouldn't build up a resistance to either drug. If the rash is peeling, it may help to mix in some Hydrocortizone cream. And perhaps some Neosporen at times.
What will cure mosquito bites?
A mosquito bite is not a disease which can be cured. However, there are many things you can buy (Stingose, Rubbing Alcohol, Tea Tree Oil, Vinegar) which all provide nothing but momentary (if that) relief. calimine lotion ,Aloe-Vera and hydrocortizone cream will help it heal faster. don't itch the bites because they can break, scab, or become infected hope i helped
Can sunburns also cause a rash?
Apparently it can. Sun rash normally appears white northern European type skin,but I seem to get it anyway, and I have a Middle Eastern complexion. Treating is is really hard as it spreads, but I find that by keeping my skin oily in dry conditions spread is prevented. I also find that AC (or aeroplanes) after sun really triggers the rash. For some reason polyester does too. For me I don't get the rash if I apply sunblock cream before solar exposure. For treatment baby nappyrash cream is best. Hydrocortizone works well, but the rash comes back worse next time. Oh yes, and avoid more sun.
