Advice & Tips
This medication worked well for what it was prescribed for, but with me having a low immune system and it having a steroid in it I started to get infections under my breast. The only time I get these is when I am on a steroid or I come in contact with Strep. I stopped taking it because of this reason. I also notice while I was taking it that I felt "unwell" like I was sick, but had no symptoms of really being sick except for a cough and a runny noise. I didn't have this before taking this medication.

Advice & Tips
If the hydrocortisone is in a petroleum-based ointment (similar to Vaseline), it makes me get a worse, thicker rash.

Advice & Tips
It is hard to space out the treatments daily to twice a day with enough time in between. I see a noticable difference between waiting 10 to 12 hours between applications and doing one in the late evening (10:00pm) and another when I wake up (at 6:00am).
