Question
Why does the Tecnu label say it cannot be used with hydrocortisone for three days?
Answer
You can use Tecnu before using a
hydrocortisone ointment. Just make sure to wait at
least 3 days after using a hydrocortisone ointment, before
using Tecnu.
The reason is that the use of hydrocortisone thins the skin,
allowing any topical application to the skin to penetrate more
readily. If you are slightly sensitive to a detergent, like
Tecnu Original Outdoor
Skin Cleanser, it will aggravate the skin more quickly and
severely.
