Tetracort cream is a topical medication that contains hydrocortisone, a corticosteroid used to reduce inflammation and itching. This cream is used to treat a group of skin conditions that cause skin irritation, such as eczema, psoriasis, allergic rashes, and insect bites.
Tetracort works to reduce swelling, redness, and itching in the affected area. The cream is usually used by applying a thin layer of it to the affected skin once or twice daily, according to the doctor's instructions. It is advised not to use it for long periods or over large areas of the skin without medical supervision.
