Cutisoft Cream 1% (10 g)

Cutisoft Cream 1% (10 g) is a topical corticosteroid cream that contains hydrocortisone 1% in each 10 g tube. It is used on the skin to help reduce redness, swelling, itching, and irritation from short-term inflammatory skin problems. Cutisoft Cream 1% (10 g) is a prescription or pharmacist-directed allergy and skin irritation treatment that works best when used exactly as directed. Because it is a cream, it spreads easily and is often chosen for areas that are moist, sensitive, or mildly inflamed.

How it works: Hydrocortisone calms the skin’s immune response by reducing the substances that cause redness, itching, and swelling. In cream form, Cutisoft Cream 1% (10 g) is applied directly to the affected area so the medicine works where the irritation is happening.

Cutisoft Cream 1% (10 g) is a low-potency hydrocortisone cream, which makes it suitable for mild skin inflammation and for areas where a gentler steroid is preferred. Since there are no other Cutisoft strengths or forms listed here, this 1% cream represents the standard strength for this product and is typically chosen when a doctor wants a mild, local anti-inflammatory effect rather than a stronger steroid.

• Itchy skin rash
• Mild eczema or dermatitis
• Allergic skin irritation
• Inflamed insect bites
• Minor skin redness and swelling

• Wash and dry your hands before and after applying Cutisoft Cream 1% (10 g), unless you are treating the hands themselves.
• Apply a thin layer only to the affected skin area and gently rub it in.
• Use it only on skin as directed by your doctor; do not use it in the eyes, mouth, or inside the nose.
• Do not cover the area with tight bandages or airtight dressings unless your doctor tells you to.
• If a dose is missed, apply it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next application.
• Avoid washing the treated area right away after applying the cream unless your prescriber gives different instructions.

Cutisoft Cream 1% (10 g) provides hydrocortisone 1% in a topical cream, so the amount used is measured by the length and thinness of the layer applied, not by swallowing tablets or capsules. The usual frequency is often 1 to 2 times daily, but the exact schedule and the maximum amount used per day depend on the skin area being treated and your doctor’s instructions. Do not use more often or longer than prescribed, even though this is a low-strength cream.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Hydrocortisone may include:

• Mild burning or stinging where applied
• Skin dryness
• Itching or irritation at the application site
• Redness or tenderness of the skin
• Temporary worsening of skin sensitivity
• With longer or heavier use, thinning of the skin may be more likely

• Use only on the skin and only on the areas your doctor told you to treat.
• Do not use on infected, open, or oozing skin unless your clinician says it is appropriate.
• Avoid using on the face, groin, underarms, or skin folds for long periods unless specifically directed.
• Do not use more often or for longer than recommended, because even hydrocortisone 1% can thin the skin with overuse.
• Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or treating a child, since dose and duration may need to be limited.
• Stop and ask for medical advice if the rash gets worse, spreads, or does not improve after a short course.
• Keep the cream away from the eyes and mucous membranes.

• Other topical steroids used on the same area may increase the risk of skin thinning.
• Topical products with harsh acne treatments, retinoids, or exfoliating acids may further irritate the treated skin.
• If a doctor has also prescribed topical antifungals or antibiotics, follow their timing instructions carefully to avoid mixing products improperly.
• Using multiple steroid products at once can raise the chance of unwanted systemic absorption, especially over large areas or under occlusion.

Store Cutisoft Cream 1% (10 g) tightly closed at room temperature, away from excess heat, moisture, and direct sunlight, and keep it out of reach of children.
