Wycort Oint 15Gm

• Inflammatory skin conditions: Hydrocortisone can calm redness, swelling and itching in eczema, dermatitis and other skin conditions diagnosed as suitable for a mild steroid.
• Steroid-responsive itching: By reducing local inflammation, Wycort ointment may relieve itching and irritation when infection is not the cause.

• Skin irritation: Hydrocortisone may cause burning, stinging, itching or redness shortly after application. Stop using the ointment if the irritation becomes severe or spreads beyond the treated area.
• Skin thinning: Repeated heavy application can make the skin thinner and may cause stretch marks or a change in skin colour. Use the ointment only for the advised period.
• Worsening infection: A steroid can mask or worsen an untreated infection, which may show as increasing pain, warmth, pus or spreading redness. Seek medical advice promptly.
• Allergic reaction: A new rash, facial swelling or breathing difficulty may indicate sensitivity to the ointment. Get emergency medical help for swelling of the face, lips or throat.

• Apply Wycort ointment only to the skin area advised by your doctor.
• Do not use it on acne, rosacea, cold sores, chickenpox or untreated skin infections.
• Avoid getting the ointment into the eyes, mouth, cuts or wounds.
• Do not cover treated skin with a tight dressing unless instructed.
• Use Wycort ointment in children only after a doctor has assessed the skin condition and advised its use.
