Is it safe for a 16 year old to use Hydrocortisone?

[Pubertymaxxerr]

I read the BOTB thread about Hydrocortisone and I understand it can raise cortisol so I have got ashwaganda to lower cortisol. I also read that it can stunt growth, not sure if this is true but want to check, however I am 6,1 and haven't grown more than 2 cm in the past year so unsure if stunting growth is a problem for me any longer. I want to use the hydrocortisone to sort of lift my nose a little bit by applying around the tip and just below rather than slimming it. Will this still work?

Why would u use it? why are u taking pills when ur not sick? u know its a corticosteroid right, and it thins ur skin in the long term...

The tip of my nose droops a little so i think a little skin thinning would fix the droop as it isnt a massive problem

What are you using it for? To slim your nose or reduce size

your skin wont thin, corticoids remove inflammation
skin thinning mostly happens if you apply it on spots where your skin is really thin already, imagine your undereye
