Locoid (Hydrocortisone) is a topical medication used to treat inflammation and itching caused by skin conditions such as allergic rashes, eczema, psoriasis, itching, and other inflammatory skin conditions. This medication will reduce the swelling, itching, and redness that can occur in these types of conditions.

Locoid Directions:
Use exactly as directed on the label, or as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take by mouth. Topical medicine is for use only on the skin. Wash your hands before and after using hydrocortisone, unless you are using this medicine to treat the skin on your hands. Apply a thin layer of medicine to the affected skin and rub it in gently. Do not apply this medicine over a large area of skin unless your doctor has told you to. Do not cover the treated skin area with a bandage or other covering unless your doctor tells you to. Covering treated areas can increase the amount of medicine absorbed through your skin and may cause harmful effects. Stop using hydrocortisone and call your doctor if your symptoms do not improve, or if they get worse within 7 days. Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Do not freeze. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use.
Locoid Precautions:
You should not use Locoid if you are allergic to hydrocortisone. To make sure Locoid is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have ever had any type of skin infection (bacterial, fungal, or parasitic), a skin reaction to any steroid medication, liver disease, or an adrenal gland disorder.

Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant while using this medication. This medication is not expected to pass into breastmilk. Tell your doctor if you are breastfeeding. If you are breastfeeding and you apply Locoid to your chest, avoid areas that may come into contact with the baby’s mouth. Topical medications are not expected to interact with any other medications you take orally or inject. Regardless, tell your doctor about any medications, vitamins, or herbal supplements you are currently taking or have recently taken in order to reduce the risk of any possible interactions. Do not use this medication to treat any skin condition that has not been checked by your doctor. Do not get this medication in your eyes. If contact does occur, rinse with water.
