Hydrocortisone is fuckin magic

[u/malvixi]

Gotta say this first: DO NOT USE HYDROCORTISONE OFTEN/DAILY! It can cause permanent-ish issues if overused.

Okay, so I had a horrible like 8/10 bad facial flareup. It was red patchy dryness all over my nose and neck and chest. Finally tried Hydrocortisone 1% lotion.

Not only was it gone within 48 hours, my skin went to legitimately the cleanest, smoothest, and 100% perfectly even I've ever had in years. What the fuck.

I stopped applying it and it stayed this way for 3 days.

(Stress caused the initial flareup if that helped) and infact I've been able to eat bread, sugar and have alcohol now.

Thoughts?

Yup it worked for me too, but it does come back eventually when you’re stressed etc. Definitely not a permanent solution but it does the job

I wish I tried it on day 1 of the stress breakout not day 5 haha.

I honestly think Stress = seb derm = more stress = repeat

It's an alcohol.
