Cortizone-10 (hydrocortisone) for Intertrigo "I get intertrigo a lot as an obese man. The two common places are under the breast and under the belly above my privates. Sometimes in the groin too a little. I use Cortizone-10 and it clears up within a day. I've had extremely bad rashes and applied it in the evening, and when I woke up the next morning, it was no longer hurting and started to heal. Now this is just my goto subtype but warning: it HURTS SO BAD! LOL I use the 'cooling gel' kind. And I dunno what it is about this kind, but it healed faster than ANY of the other kinds, but I guess because it's got the 'cooling' factors, it stings like crazy! No lie... I'll put it on and within seconds, I'm silently screaming and wishing I didn't do it. But I know it'll be healed within a day so I deal with it. It only hurts for a couple of minutes. But IMO, well worth the pain."

"Sometimes I use too many tissues and rub my nose raw. Some mornings I go to the sink or shower and use my hand in running water. The underside of my nose is sometimes raw-feeling. A tiny, tiny smear on the underside. I can barely smell it. One dose lasts a good 6 hours of regular 1%. I would recommend it for friction burns or something like that, for sure!"

Cortizone-10 (hydrocortisone) for Pruritus "I suffer from Pruritus, a side effect to oxycodone. Cortizone cream is very effective. Stops itching immediately, with no unpleasant odor and is instantly absorbed into the skin. Hope this helps."

For Anal Itching "I've found Hydrocortisone to be ABSOLUTELY useless for anal itching. Though not perfect, a topical antibiotic and anesthetic (Lidocaine, etc.) was much better."
