What is Westcort?

What is Westcort used for?

Westcort is used to treat a variety of skin conditions, such as eczema, dermatitis, allergies, and rash. Eczema (atopic dermatitis), a common skin condition, is when areas of the skin, commonly the face, neck, elbows, wrists, groin, knees, and ankles become inflamed. When the skin becomes inflamed, it becomes red, itchy, and dry, and in some cases even cracked and leathery. If the inflamed skin is scratched, dry patches and open sores with crusts may develop, resulting in potential for infection. This condition is considered an allergic-type skin condition as most times eczema flares up due to allergens in the air such as pollen.

How does Westcort work?

Westcort (hydrocortisone valerate) is effective at treating skin conditions because of its ability to reduce inflammation, itching, and redness.
