Can Cortopin Cream Be Used Around Eyes For Treating Dry Eyelids?
Hi, I went to see a dermatologist because my eyelids were very dry. I was advised to use the cream Cortopin. However I read on the notice that it shouldn't be used on the face, especially around the eyes. Do you have any advice regarding this cream?
Thank you.
Thank you.

Hello
It seems from the history that you are prescribed with cortopin cream. It is a steroid cream with active ingredient of hydrocortisone and used for treatment of inflammations of skin.
It can be applied to face but care to be taken that it should not enter the eyes as it contains preservatives which may irritate the eyes.
Thank you
