You should not use cortizone cream for something else other that what it is meant for. This is because it has an active steroid ingredient and may cause side-effects.
You could always use an inti itch cream like Cortizone Anti Itch Cream. You can find other creams and sprays at your local drug store.
Cortizone is a synthetic steroid hormone. It mostly only affects the local tissues by reducing inflammation.
any 1% cortizone cream handles it pretty well....just got back from south padre island and we all had some measure of boogie rash
Taking Benadryl helps. I also rub an anti-itch cream on the hives...like Cortizone 10 or something. I like the creams better than the .ointments
Use Allergen Plus!
Do not scratch or pick at the blisters that may form. Clean the area regularly and apply a cortizone cream. Picking at them may cause an infection which can become more serious and need treatment.
No, steroid creams may make it look a little better for a day or two, but it will soon worsen. Ringworm is a fungus, and Cortizone 10 is basically an anti-inflammatory - it won't cure a fungal infection. Talk to your pharmacist about over the counter treatment for ringworm.
Borage isn't cortizone, but helps your body to produce its own cortizone by stimulating the adrenal gland. To get the benefit of borage, you would consume it in a tea or infusion.
Cortizone is a brand of anti-itch medications, manufactured by Chattem, that contain hydrocortisones.
I don't think it is wise to give dog cortizone, unless they are desperately ill. Cortizone affects their breathing and many other areas of their body.
