hydrocortisone cream or ointment helps to reduce the inflammation of eczema and so will reduce the redness and itchiness of your child's skin. An overdose of hydrocortisone is not expected to produce life-threatening symptoms. Long-term use of high doses can lead to thinning skin, easy bruising, changes in body fat, especially in your face, neck, back, and waist. It can also lead to increased acne or facial hair.
