Hormone creams are mainly used for the treatment of allergic skin diseases and should not be used for too long. The specific duration of medication varies depending on the strength of the hormone content of the hormone cream, the age of the user, the application site and the condition, so it is impossible to make a generalization. Hormone creams are divided into four categories: super potent, potent, medium potent and weak potent, which are mainly suitable for various types of eczema, dermatitis and other allergic or pruritic skin diseases, and should not be used on broken skin. The duration of use of hormone creams varies from person to person and is related to the strength of their potency and the type of disease. Super- and strong-acting hormones are suitable for severe hypertrophic lesions and are usually used for no more than 3 weeks continuously; medium-acting hormones are mainly used for mild to moderate lesions and are usually used for no more than 1 month continuously; weak-acting hormones are suitable for mild to moderate lesions and are relatively safe and can be used for about 2-3 weeks, or for a long time if necessary. It should be noted that hormone creams should be used with caution on the face, armpits, groin, perineum and other thin and tender skin areas, as well as on children, and when they must be used, they should be selected as medium- and weak-acting preparations and should not be applied continuously for more than 2 weeks. Hormone creams are fast-acting and have obvious effects, but they should be used correctly under the guidance of a professional doctor, not blindly on your own.
