Hydrocortisone cream
Familiar option that gives good results + isn't that expensive + very accessible
How to use:
-pea sized amount
- apply evenly around nasal tip/columella and ur ala then rub it in EVENLY
-let it absorb for 10-15 minutes
-rinse away any leftover product
cautions:
its a synthetic version of cortisol so dont overuse, maybe aim for 1-2 times per week before going out.
BETTER OPTION - triamcinolone acetonide
this is a more potent corticosteroid that works similarly by mimicking cortisol to reduce inflammation.
Only drawback is skin thinning due to slowed cell production + collagen breakdown
How to apply:
-slightly less than a pea sized amount
-spread evenly over nasal tip /columella + ala
recommended routine:
-once daily in the evening to minimize sun sensitivity
-if using in morning, pair with spf 30+ protection
- then expect initial improvements in around 2-4 weeks and more noticeable ones in 4-8 weeks
- also 1-2 times per week.
