Topical Steroids Treatment Guide
A Complete Clinical Guide to Choosing and Using Topical Steroids
What are topical steroids?
They reduce inflammation and itching in affected skin. Strength ranges from mild (hydrocortisone) to very potent (clobetasol). Choice depends on severity, body area and age.
When to seek medical advice
See a GP for ongoing skin conditions, worsening despite over-the-counter hydrocortisone, or signs of infection like oozing or golden crusts.
Available treatments
Hydrocortisone 1% is available over the counter. Stronger options like clobetasone (Eumovate), betamethasone (Betnovate) and mometasone (Elocon) require prescription. Combination products add antibiotics or antifungals where needed.
What to expect
Mild flares usually settle in 1 to 2 weeks. The smallest effective strength for the shortest time gives best results. Rebound flares can happen if very potent steroids are stopped suddenly.
Self-care
Apply thin layers once or twice daily, moisturise generously, avoid the face unless advised and follow the fingertip unit guide for correct amounts.
