Used For:

Lacticare-HC Lotion is a topical medication that combines hydrocortisone with lactic acid. It is commonly used for:

  • Treating and managing mild to moderate eczema and dermatitis.
  • Reducing inflammation, redness, and itching associated with various skin conditions.
  • Moisturizing dry, scaly skin and improving skin texture.
  • Treating minor skin irritations, including those caused by allergies or insect bites.

Side Effects:

Common side effects of Lacticare-HC Lotion may include:

  • Mild skin irritation or redness at the application site.
  • Dryness or peeling of the skin.
  • Burning or stinging sensation upon application.

Less common but more serious side effects can include:

  • Severe skin irritation or allergic reaction.
  • Signs of skin thinning (e.g., easy bruising, shiny skin).
  • Stretch marks or discoloration of the skin.
  • Infections due to prolonged use, especially if the lotion is applied to large areas of the skin or under occlusive dressings.

Precautions:

Before using Lacticare-HC Lotion, consider the following precautions:

  • Allergies: Ensure you are not allergic to hydrocortisone, lactic acid, or any other ingredients in the lotion. Perform a patch test if necessary.
  • Medical Conditions: Inform your healthcare provider if you have any skin conditions, such as fungal or bacterial infections, before using the lotion.
  • Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult your doctor before using Lacticare-HC Lotion if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
  • Application Instructions: Use Lacticare-HC Lotion as directed by your healthcare provider. Apply a thin layer to the affected area, usually 2-4 times daily. Avoid excessive use, as it can lead to increased side effects.
  • Avoid Sensitive Areas: Do not apply the lotion to broken or infected skin, and avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and mucous membranes. If accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
  • Long-term Use: Avoid prolonged use of corticosteroids on the face, underarms, or groin area unless directed by a doctor. Long-term use can lead to skin thinning and other side effects.
  • Sun Exposure: Use sunscreen and protective clothing when outdoors, as hydrocortisone can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight.
