Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.

Pediatric

Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated pediatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of hydrocortisone topical in the pediatric population. However, because of hydrocortisone's toxicity, it should be used with caution. Children may absorb large amounts through the skin, which can cause serious side effects. If your child is using hydrocortisone, follow your doctor's instructions very carefully.

Geriatric

No information is available on the relationship of age to the effects of hydrocortisone topical in geriatric patients.

Interactions with Medicines
