I have it handy where ever I go because I have sensitive skin. Mosquito bite, irritations are soothed by the cream!

I tried Thinx and quickly found myself with a nasty case of pad rash (I realized too late that Thinx, while certainly a game changer, are best used supplementally on days 1&2). It looked like nothing on about a 1”x3” area, but itched, burned, and caused me near constant discomfort for 6 months. I have autoimmune problems and wanted to avoid anything that might interfere with my already delicate system, so I threw just about every natural remedy this world has to offer at it and experienced no improvement. 24 hours into using a natural balm with the addition of 1% hydrocortisone I felt “normal” for the 1st time since this started. This is the only ingredient that’s felt like it allowed my body to heal. It’s been about 2 weeks, using once or twice a day after gentle cleansing, and I’ve had no recurrence of symptoms that used to keep me up at night. If the improvements don’t persist I will come back here crestfallen and adjust my review. Read More Read Less

I have an anal itch for about a month and asked a friend about a cream that I can use to reduce the itch. He suggested to use this cream and after 2-3 days, the itch was gone and finally it doesn't irritate me anymore.

I had sevral red itching places on my body (arms, legs, hip, neck) caused by poison ivy. After about a week of itching I tried Benadryl, with no aparent effect. Then I switched to Hydrocortisone, and the problems went away after three once-a day applications.

I had anal itching for a long time, I can't remember how long exactly, but was a problem for about a year, I believe. The itching was really taking over my life, and I was very depressed about it because I did not know what to do about it. I used the product for a week, and it relieved the itching tremendously. Today is the first day that I've gotten the courage to stop using it, and the itching has not returned. I suspected even before using the product that the itching was not stopping because I could not help but scratch, which even worsened the problem. I am truly very thankful for how this product has helped me.Read More Read Less

I have Hashimoto's disease (that is the most common form of Hypothyroidism) and I take synthetic thyroid drugs (Levothyroxine and Liothyronine) I developed a oily acne like condition on my face (nose mostly) that would not clear up. After 6-7 months, in desperation, I tried Cortaid twice a day after I wash my face. It has only been a few days but most of the pussiness and resultant crusty scales are gone and the red areas are slowly improving. I would never have used this product for my problem if I had read your article first because you specifically say NOT to use it on the face! Then under conditions treated by the product you list a facial condition. Please reconcile these conflicting statements. Why did you say don't use it on the face? What sort of things might happen? I want my face to clear up but I don't want to cause some disfiguration either!Read More Read Less
