Description
Introduction
Dermaid 0.5% Cream is a mild topical corticosteroid containing hydrocortisone, a trusted ingredient in the corticosteroid drug class. While it’s gentle on skin, it should be used carefully, as it may occasionally cause side effects like itching, burning, dryness, or redness at the application area. If you’re thinking about using it, it’s good to know this cream is designed for short-term, external use only and should not be applied on broken or infected skin unless advised by a healthcare professional. Always follow proper directions, and remember—it’s for skin use only, so keep it away from your eyes and mouth.

Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected skin area, gently rubbing it in until fully absorbed, usually 1–2 times daily or as directed by your doctor or pharmacist.

The recommended usage is typically once or twice a day depending on your skin condition; it should be used for the shortest duration necessary to avoid side effects.
