Hydrocortisone 1% is a mild, over-the-counter corticosteroid used to treat mild eczema by reducing inflammation, redness, and itching. It’s suitable for short-term use and sensitive areas like the face, but should be used cautiously around the eyes due to the potential risk of side effects such as glaucoma with prolonged use. Avoid long-term or frequent application to prevent skin thinning and other complications.
