Hydrocortisone topical "I suffer from pruritus, a side effect of oxycodone. Cortizone cream is very effective. Stops itching immediately, with no unpleasant odor, and is instantly absorbed into the skin. Hope this helps."

"We have a lot of mosquitoes in our area. They are very attracted to me, and I develop quarter-sized bumps shortly after being bitten. I have found that if I apply hydrocortisone 1% cream to a mosquito bite as soon as possible, the swelling and itching will be relieved within minutes. It is important to apply the cream prior to scratching the bite. I highly recommend using this cream; it makes my life here tolerable."
