Rapid relief of your worst itches due to:
Dry, itchy skin
Itchy, dry skin varies in degree, but can be rough, scaly, cracking, red or inflamed.
CORTAID® products can help relieve your dry, itchy skin.
Eczema
Eczema is characterized by recurring red, dry and itchy patches of skin. The skin may also become cracked, blistery and leathery.
The most commonly affected areas include the face, wrists, elbows and knees.
CORTAID® products can help you treat your itch due to eczema.
Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a skin disorder where the skin cells grow and die at a rate up to ten times faster than normal.
As the skin cells multiply, they collect on the surface of the skin and form red, raised patches.
Psoriasis flare-ups can be very mild, or they may cover large parts of the body in many different patterns and can be very itchy.
Psoriasis is characterized by red, scaly, and thickened skin with silvery scales. The most commonly affected areas include scalp, elbows, knees, fingernails, lower back and groin region.
CORTAID® products can help relieve your itch due to psoriasis.
Seborrheic dermatitis
Seborrheic dermatitis is characterized by red, scaly and itchy patches of skin. Yellow and oily scales also typically form.
The most commonly affected areas include the scalp, hairline, eyebrows and eyelids, around the nose, or behind the ears. This condition may also form on the chest, back, navel, underarms, breast, groin or buttocks.
Help relieve your itch due to Seborrheic dermatitis with CORTAID® products.
Rashes
A rash is a change in the color and texture of the skin that usually causes an outbreak of red patches or bumps. Rashes can be localized to one area or can be widespread. A rash may be caused, directly or indirectly, by a bacterial, viral, or fungal infection, or by an underlying medical illness. Proper evaluation of a skin rash may require a visit to a doctor or other health-care professional. Itch from rashes due to eczema, insect bites, poison ivy, oak, or sumac, soaps, detergents, cosmetics, jewelry, seborrheic dermatitis, or psoriasis can be relieved with OTC (over the counter) hydrocortisone.
You can count on CORTAID® products to help you make that itchy rash itch less. Use only as directed.
