Description
Introduction
Xepacort (Hydrocortisone) 1% Cream belongs to the corticosteroid class of medicines and contains hydrocortisone as its active ingredient.

If you’re applying this cream for the first time, don’t worry—it’s easy to use and generally well-tolerated when used as directed. Just remember, this is a prescription-strength product, so using it correctly and knowing what to expect can make a big difference in your experience.
