Brief Answer:
Hydrocortisone is safe
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
Hydrocortisone is the mildest steroid and is safe to use on the penile skin.
You might have used some high potency steroid in the past that has led to thinning of the skin.
I want to ask you what is the indication for the use of hydrocortisone?
