Over the counter steroid creams - such as hydrocortisone creams - are not harmful in themselves but can be harmful when not used as directed. They should be used for short periods of time, otherwise there is a tendency to develop resistance. They also thin the skin with overuse, which of course also makes the skin more vulnerable. Unfortunately, because they are so effective many people DO overuse them, or simply don't read the directions. Many countries outside of Canada and the U.S. have taken steps to prevent misuse. For example, in Britain, steroid creams are not available over the counter - customers must talk with the pharmacist who will then allow (or not) the sale and provide clear verbal instructions and warnings so that users are clearly aware of how they are to be used.
