Relief for Skin Irritation and Itching
Sovereign Medical Hydrocortisone Cream 1% is a mild but effective topical corticosteroid designed to provide fast relief from various skin conditions. This 30g tube is formulated to reduce inflammation, redness, and swelling associated with common skin irritations.
How It Works
The active ingredient, Hydrocortisone BP 1.0% w/w, works by suppressing the body's inflammatory response at the site of application. It is particularly useful for managing symptoms of mild to moderate eczema, dermatitis (including atopic, contact, and seborrhoeic types), and reactions to insect bites.
Common Uses in Nigeria
In Nigeria, this cream is a staple for those suffering from:
- Eczema and Dermatitis: Helps soothe "pepperish" or burning sensations and reduces redness.
- Skin Allergies: Effective for rashes and itchy patches.
- Insect Bites: Provides sharp relief from the itching and swelling caused by mosquito or other insect bites.
Application and Safety
For best results, apply a small amount to the affected area 1-2 times daily for no more than seven days. If you are unsure if this is the right treatment for your skin condition, especially for "toilet infections" or facial rashes, we recommend you contact a GoMed pharmacist for expert guidance.
