Hydrocortisone is a steroid (corticosteroid) medicine. It works by calming down your body's immune response to reduce pain, itching and swelling (inflammation). It can also be used as hormone replacement for people who do not have enough of the natural stress hormone, cortisol.

Cortisone shots can also be used to treat inflammatory skin conditions like eczema (atopic dermatitis) or to reduce severe scars known as keloids. They are also sometimes given to prevent the development of nodules in people with sarcoidosis.

It is used to treat a number of different conditions, such as inflammation (swelling), severe allergies, adrenal problems, arthritis, asthma, blood or bone marrow problems, eye or vision problems, lupus, skin conditions, and ulcerative colitis.

CORTISONE (KOR ti sone) is a corticosteroid. It is commonly used to treat inflammation of the skin, joints, lungs, and other organs. Common conditions treated include asthma, allergies, and arthritis. It is also used for other conditions, such as blood disorders and diseases of the adrenal glands.

Commonly used topical steroids (corticosteroids) include hydrocortisone, triamcinolone, fluocinonide, and clobetasol. They work by preventing cells from producing inflammation-causing chemicals that are released in response to a variety of different triggers.

In some cases, one or several cortisone shots can cure a condition, particularly those that affect the hand and wrist, Dr. Halim says. “But for conditions that affect the knees, shoulders, and hips, a cortisone injection will make the pain better for a period of time, but is seldom curative,” she says.

The use of topical corticosteroids on the face can result in harmful skin effects such as atrophy, telangiectasia and periorificial dermatitis. These adverse reactions are greater with the more potent steroids but can be minimised by limiting use on the face.

You're more likely to have a serious side effect if you use a strong hydrocortisone treatment (such as hydrocortisone butyrate) or if you use hydrocortisone on a large patch of skin for a long time. Using hydrocortisone for many months at a time can make your skin thinner or cause stretchmarks.

Cortisone shots are injections that can help relieve pain, swelling and irritation in a specific area of your body. They're most often injected into joints - such as the ankle, elbow, hip, knee, shoulder, spine or wrist. Even the small joints in the hands or feet might benefit from cortisone shots.
