Locacorten ointment is a topical medication used to treat a range of skin conditions. It contains hydrocortisone, a type of corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation and itching. Locacorten is used to treat conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, allergic or irritant dermatitis, insect bites, and some allergic rashes. Locacorten soothes the skin and reduces swelling and redness. It is applied directly to the affected area once or twice daily, as directed by your doctor. It is not recommended to use Locacorten for long periods or over large areas of skin without medical supervision to avoid potential side effects.
