I have folliculitis treated with antibiotics, I wanted to know if putting on hydrocortisone cream 0.2% on the lesions would help?

It is not recommended to apply hydrocortisone on infected skin as it could potentially worsen the condition by reducing the effectiveness of the immune system in that area. Instead, for discomfort, one could consider taking Atarax™ before going to bed. It is advisable to avoid taking prednisone in this situation.
