today we are diving into a topic that
0:03
many of you have asked about managing
0:06
soric dermatitis and the use of
0:09
cream is it safe is it effective let's
0:14
find out sep durm can be a challenging
0:17
condition to manage one common treatment
0:19
option is hydrocortisone cream often one
0:23
of the first treatments prescribed by
0:25
doctors hydrocortisone can improve
0:28
symptoms almost overnight but there are
0:31
important factors to consider before
0:33
using it hydrocortisone is a topical
0:36
steroid that reduces inflammation by
0:39
suppressing the immune response in the
0:41
skin it binds to receptors in skin cells
0:45
inhibiting inflammatory mediators and
0:48
constricting blood vessels clinical
0:51
Studies have shown that hydrocortisone
0:53
can be effective in treating sepm for
0:57
example one study found that 1%
1:00
hydrocortisone was slightly more
1:01
effective than 2% ketoconazol in
1:04
reducing symptoms over 4 weeks sounds
1:08
great right however I'm not a big fan of
1:12
using hydrocortisone for sepm unless
1:14
absolutely necessary here's why
1:18
potential side effects of hydrocortisone
1:21
cream include rebound inflammation when
1:24
you stop using it this means your rash
1:26
flares up sometimes even worse than
1:31
it also causes skin teing with prolonged
1:34
use and pigment changes there is also a
1:39
absorption if you decide to use
1:41
hydrocord cream remember these key
1:44
points one use the lowest strength
1:47
possible typically 0.5% or
1:51
1% two apply a thin layer to the
1:54
affected areas twice daily not more
2:00
tree use for no more than one to two
2:04
weeks so what should you use
2:08
instead I recommend focusing on more
2:10
sustainable long-term treatments use an
2:13
antifungal cream like clor triazol twice
2:16
a day for 2 weeks while it may take a
2:19
little bit longer to see results it's a
2:22
safer long-term solution remember sep
2:25
Derm isn't life threatening even though
2:28
it can impact your self-esteem
