[QUOTE="Star*, post: 333788, member: 4964"] GET THE HYDROCORTISONE OFF YOUR FACE NOW!!!!!!! YOU SHOULD NEVER EVER PUT THAT ON YOUR FACE FOR ANYTHING it will make it worse. I have had this discussion with my dermatologist because I have rosacea and believe me nothing short of poison oak itches as bad as Rosacea - and so I put hydrocortisone on it? And OMG - it made my skin WORSE....temporarily? It will make it FEEL better but by tomorrow it will NOT be okay. Wash your face off with cool/tepid water and a soft cloth - if you HAVE to use any soap ---either use Dove for sensitive skin unscented (bar or liquid) or pure glycerine unscented only. Then pat dry. If your skin is peeling? I would leave it alone for a day but the only thing out there that is recommended by any dermatologist that I have talked to (several) is Olay Complete or Dove unscented sensitive for faces. If your skin is on fire do not apply anything for a couple days. I'm sorry it burns - but chemical burns can be very bad. [/QUOTE]
