Locoid Lotion Overview
Locoid Lotion is used to treat a variety of skin conditions (such as eczema, dermatitis, allergies, rash). Hydrocortisone butyrate reduces the swelling, itching, and redness that can occur in these types of conditions. The topical solution is used to treat severe dandruff (seborrheic dermatitis). Locoid Lotion is a medium-strength corticosteroid.
How to Use Locoid Lotion
Use Locoid Lotion on the skin only. However, do not use it on the face, groin, or underarms unless directed to do so by your doctor. Wash and dry your hands before using. Clean and dry the affected area. Apply a thin film of medication to the affected area and gently rub in. Apply the ointment, cream, or solution form of Locoid Lotion usually 2-3 times daily or as directed by your doctor. Apply the lotion form of Locoid Lotion usually 2 times daily or as directed. Do not bandage, cover, or wrap the area unless directed to do so by your doctor. After applying the medication, wash your hands unless you are using Locoid Lotion to treat the hands. When applying Locoid Lotion near the eyes, avoid getting it in the eyes because this may worsen or cause glaucoma. Also, avoid getting Locoid Lotion in the nose or mouth.
