Does hydrocortisone thin skin if on labia? Prescribed 2.5% after 3mth discomfort since IPL hair removal. Is hydroc. needed long

Asked By:scared. in Vancouver, BC

I read hydrocortisone thins skin especially in folds like the groin, but my derma disagreed and hed prescribed two months 2x a day with refills.Ive used 2x a day for two weeks,some discomfort decreased and i dont know when to wean off but im worried the sensitivity may never heal fully without it?or does it only speed it up? When do i stop?only once no sensitivity at all?Any natural ways for nerve irritation under skin and labia healing(no visible problems,was bit red before)like calendula oil?
