hydrocortisone cream for eczema

Most over-the-counter eczema creams and ointments are formulated with 1% hydrocortisone.

Hydrocortisone eczema treatments are available in several topical forms, most commonly creams, ointments, and lotions.

Common package sizes include 1-ounce, 2-ounce, and 3.5-ounce tubes.

Most products are labeled for adults and children aged 2 years and older; at least one listing specifically notes it is not for children under two.

Some formulas include added moisturizers and soothing agents such as aloe, triple oat, and vitamins A, C, and E; one lotion lists a blend of multiple moisturizers plus a vitamin and botanical complex.
