How Hydrocortisone Cream Works

Hydrocortisone is a mild topical corticosteroid that works by suppressing the immune response in the skin. It reduces the release of inflammatory substances such as histamines and prostaglandins, leading to decreased redness, swelling, and itching. This mechanism provides rapid relief from irritation and helps soothe allergic and inflammatory skin conditions.
