How often to use 0.5% hydrocortisone on nose?

[zeronai]

I can only get 0.5% where I’m at, literally can’t get 1% without a prescription or some jester website from which I’ll have to also wait long to get it.

I wanna start now and slim down the tip so this is best I can get rn, how often to use?
People usually use 1% every other day every other week so

Twice daily for 1 to 2 weeks. It should fix the inflammation

Damn twice ok
And after 2 weeks how do I continue to keep the effect

0.5% is the least potent formulation, up to twice daily is fine, no expected visible complications

Topical corticosteroids are meant for short term use not maintenance. If doesn’t work after 2 weeks, just switch to moisturizer and barrier repair only

Ok but I mean wouldn’t it just go back to usual shape after that period when I go back to moisturizer only

Some do 1% longterm every other week to keep it improved visually I guess

If the initial inflammation was mild, it would resolve and barrier repair alone would be enough to maintain that

Last question lol but you think I should also be taking Ashwagandha like some users say for cortisol reduction while using HC or not?

It’s not gonaa raise cortisol levels in any serious way at 0.5%. And even if cortisol levels do rise above physiological levels, herbal supplements won't be able to manage it

Btw make sure to mark my post as solution, just click the check mark on my right

Honestly 2 times daily until you truly see a difference. Also if you stop seeing results your problem might just be your nose and may just need a rhino.

Yeah that’s the plan when I get enough money to do rhino, for now just applied HC few hours ago first time ever so I’ll see how it goes over next month
