Is hydrocortisone 1% steroid cream harmful in anyway?

I%26#039;m using it and would like to know if there are any side effects. Mum says it can affect hormones after prolonged use? Most I%26#039;ve read is that it may cause a rash.|||hydrocortisone steroid cream will not really harm you. your mom is right that prolonged use of high potency steroid creams can cause some side effects with some hormones inside you (one is called cortisol), but hydrocortisone is not a high potency steroid cream. it%26#039;s a very low potency steroid cream and is safe for use.
