Can my pharmacist substitute hydrocortisone 2.5% cream for Proctosol-HC? Prescription wrote for Proctosol-HC 2.5%, I received hydrocortisone 2.5% cream. ## Hello, Lynn! How are you? Yes, unless your doctor designates on the prescription that you must be given the name brand, the pharmacist actually has to substitute a generic in it's place, if one is available. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this cream as possibly including irritation, redness, burning and itching. Is there anything else I can help with?

can the cream be used to soothe burning sensation in the rectal area... ## Hello, Miz! How are you? It is doubtful, this is an antifungal cream that is typically used to treat yeast infections or ringworm. Do you have piles? They can often cause anal burning, bleeding and pain. If so, then you will most likely need a hydrocortisone cream to help shrink them and alleviate the burning. Its typical side effects, as listed by the U.S. FDA, may possibly include skin redness, irritation and itching. Have you consulted your doctor?

will hydrocodone cream thin the blood Yes or no ## Hydrocodone does not come in a cream. I believe you're talking about Hydrocortizone Cream. ## Hello, Mike! How are you? On top of what BL said, no Hydrocortisone in the cream is a topical steroid used to treat skin rashes and allergic reactions. And no, it should not cause blood thinning, because you usually don't absorb much of it. Side effects are usually limited to topical reactions, such as skin irritation and redness. Is there anything else I can help with?

I use a new marry Kay night serum now one side. of my face is all red and wellped up. it stings like it's on fire and is itchy and sensitive to touch. benadryl and hydrocortisone cream aren't. working if you have any suggestions I would realty appreciate it. ## With the stinging, it seems like it may have caused some skin burning and, if that is the case, then no, the creams you're trying won't help, because they are intended to treat straight allergic reactions. Have you tried anything like an aloe vera cream, or something intended to treat sunburn? Learn more aloe vera details here. Infection is a big concern, if it burned the skin as I suspect, thus I strongly encourage you to see a doctor, as you may need an antibiotic.

If the marry kay serum is what caused it, then it only makes sense to consider switching to another brand with either less ingredients or with different more natural ingredients all-together. As far as treating the skin irritations, I'd suggest lavender essential oil. It works really well for that burning sensation you mentioned, as well as for any inflammation...
