Does Hydrocortisone Cream Help In Treating Pre-cancerous Skin Growths?

I am two weeks into a four week length of treatment with Fluorouracil cream. My doctor said that after then next two weeks I could use a cooling off cream on the affected areas of my face. I asked the nurse what kind of cream and she said any over the counter hydrocortisone cream would work. Any recommendations?
