Hc45 Hydrocortisone Cream has undergone rigorous clinical testing to ensure that it arms your skin against inflammatory reactions. Skin is left calmed and relived. Hc45 Hydrocortisone Cream is suitable for children and adults over 10 years. It treats itchy skin, irritated or inflamed red skin, irritated skin caused by insect bites, mild to moderate eczema, contact or allergic dermatitis and dry skin. An allergy or irritation brought on by the immune system's production of histamine typically results in skin inflammation. Histamine widens blood vessels, which causes the skin to become irritated, unpleasant, itchy, and red. The active ingredient hydrocortisone works inside the skin cells after being applied to the skin to reduce histamine release. This reduces irritation, redness and swelling.
