"I have been using Kirkland's generic hydrocortisone cream, which is basically equivalent, it is far cheaper to purchase this at Costco. It's great for short-term use, but not for long-term for my atopic dermatitis. Less effective if the rashes are leaking serous fluid/weeping - you need prescription-strength medication. I used it on my face because atopic dermatitis regularly crops up on there. It clears it up in a few days of use, but your eczema/AD rashes will almost come back in a matter of days if you're complacent on treatment. Also, because cortisone, it is not recommended on the face for long-term treatment. I have noticed parts of my face have become softer than other parts of my skin, it's a potential side effect if used long-term, so be warned. Skin atrophy can happen with steroid weak as cortisone, but requires months of use."
