Sometimes hydrocortisone is mixed with antimicrobials (chemicals that kill germs). This is used to treat skin problems caused by bacterial or fungal infections.
Hydrocortisone is inappropriate as sole therapy for fungal conditions, such as tinea pedis, tinea corporis, or tinea cruris. Corticosteroids used alone in these dermatophytic infections allow the tinea to spread and assume atypical forms, known medically as tinea incognito.
