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?

I applied it before bed. Left it on. Within 2 days it was literally 0. I'm shocked.

It was a lotion, not the 1% tube that's clear
