"I’m using this for desquamative inflammatory vaginitis. When I use it, I feel better, but when I stop, I feel weird again. I’m still trying to figure out if it’s helping or not. I still have a few weeks, so I’ll see."

"I am using the hydrocortisone cream 2.5% for a light case of hemorrhoids, lots of burning and itching. This is some great stuff, way better than Prep-H. Only been using for a week, two times a day, and hemorrhoids almost gone. And the burning and itching is gone, and I have only used half a tube. I will try to keep some of this on hand. Good stuff."

"I was put on prednisone and did NOT react well at all, experiencing most of the horrible side effects. After doing some online googling, I talked to my rheumatologist into prescribing 'plain old' hydrocortisone pills, and it has changed my life for the better! I have been taking it for over a year now (off and on) and have not felt healthier & happier in twenty years. I am not sure why docs always seem to prefer prednisone?! But for me, it was NOT the answer, as the side effects were absolutely nightmarish. On the other hand, I have had ZERO side effects while on a low dose of hydrocortisone. When I learned that hydrocortisone is closer to what our bodies naturally produce, it was a big 'A-ha!' moment for me as I am ultra-sensitive and have a hard time with meds and foods, etc."
