Hydrocortisone Butyrate Ointment can be used to treat acne caused by allergic reactions or eczema, but not for acne caused by other etiologies such as acne and folliculitis.
Hydrocortisone butyrate ointment is a topical hormonal drug, which can be used for the treatment of contact dermatitis, eczema, seborrheic dermatitis, neurodermatitis, etc. Long-term use may cause local skin atrophy, capillary dilatation, hyperpigmentation, and secondary infections and other adverse reactions. Therefore, it is forbidden to use it for acne, folliculitis and other infectious related skin diseases.
If the acne on the surface of the skin is caused by seborrheic dermatitis or an allergic reaction to the skin, hydrocortisone butyrate ointment can improve the symptoms, but for ordinary bacterial infections or endocrine disorders caused by the growth of acne, hydrocortisone butyrate ointment is not able to play a therapeutic role, and on the contrary, it will cause aggravation of the symptoms.
When treating acne, you should consult your doctor to find out the exact cause of the lesions so that you can choose the right medication for effective treatment.
