Cortisone 10, which contains hydrocortisone, is a mild topical corticosteroid often used to relieve itching and inflammation from skin conditions. While it may provide some relief for mild sunburn, it is not specifically designed for this purpose. For sunburn, it's generally better to use soothing remedies like aloe vera or over-the-counter pain relievers. If the sunburn is severe, it’s advisable to consult a healthcare professional.

What is the function of the cortisone?

Cortisone, a glucocorticoid, and adrenaline are the main hormones released by the body as a reaction to stress. They elevate blood pressure and prepare the body for a fight or flight response. A cortisone injection can also be used to give short-term pain relief and reduce the swelling from inflammation of a joint, tendon, or bursa in, for example, the joints of the knee,elbow, and shoulder.[6] Cortisone may also be used to deliberately suppress immune response in persons with autoimmune diseases or following an organ transplant to prevent transplant rejection. The suppression of the immune system may also be important in the treatment of inflammatory conditions.[7] Cortisone is a common treatment for a severe sore throat that occurs commonly with EBV infectious mononucleosis. Cortisone does not decrease the duration of the viral infection, but is used purely to increase the comfort of a patient with trouble speaking or swallowing as a result of the mononucleosis-induced swollen throat. Cortisone is also used by dermatologists to treat keloids.[8] Cortisone is also used to relieve the symptoms of eczema and atopic dermatitis.[9]
