• Continuous topical Hydrocortisone+ fusidic acid medication for a long time should be avoided. A treatment plan should not last more than two weeks.
• During treatment with Hydrocortisone+ fusidic acid, the possibility of systemic absorption of Hydrocortisone valerate should always be recognized.
• When topical corticosteroids (such as Hydrocortisone) are applied beneath occlusive dressings, over large areas, or on the face, scalp, axillae, and scrotum, enough absorption can occur, resulting in adrenal suppression and other systemic consequences. If HPA axis suppression is observed, the medicine should be discontinued, the frequency of application reduced, or a less potent steroid substituted.
