CVS Health Hydrocortisone Anti-Itch Cream

Scratching a persistent itch can damage your skin and increase the risk of infection. When insect bites, harsh detergents, eczema, or any number of other concerns cause itching or irritation, applying a hydrocortisone cream can help. Hydrocortisone helps stop itching by reducing inflammation and constricting blood vessels. The combined impact slows the release of the chemicals in your body most responsible for your uncomfortable symptoms. CVS Health™ Hydrocortisone Cream (0.5%) is enhanced with the skin-soothing potential of aloe. This anti-itch cream is fragrance-free, safe for sensitive skin, and formulated for adults and children 2 years of age and up. For itching, inflammation, and skin rashes, clean the affected area with mild soap and water. When your skin is dry, apply the cream according to the directions on the product label. CVS Health™ Hydrocortisone Cream (0.5%) with Aloe can be used 3 to 4 times daily or as directed by your physician. If your symptoms linger beyond 7 days or return shortly after subsiding, discontinue use and consult your health care provider. Warning: For external use. Do not administer to children under 2 unless advised by your physician. Store safely away from small children and pets. Keep out of reach. If accidentally swallowed, get medical help immediately or contact a Poison Control Center for further assistance.
