What is Locoid Lipocream?

Locoid Lipocream is a prescription-strength treatment for skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, and allergic reactions. These conditions can cause redness, itching, and swelling, and this cream helps to reduce irritation and promote healing.

How Does Locoid Lipocream Work?

Locoid Lipocream contains hydrocortisone butyrate, a corticosteroid that calms inflammation by reducing the immune response that causes redness and swelling. By applying the cream directly to affected areas, it helps relieve discomfort and speed up skin recovery.

Always follow your doctor’s instructions when using this medication to ensure safe and effective treatment.

When Should I Use Locoid Lipocream?

The recommended dosage depends on your skin condition and your doctor’s advice.
