I used it for 4 -5 weeks on and off and it damaged my penis head ad foreskin.  Made it thin and weak. So no don't use it. Thankfully I've been told the skin will return to normal and regain it's  thickness. If I could go back I wouldn't of used it at all.

Hello,

Hydrocortisone is a steroid cream  and if you have been using steroid cream for such a long time, then please do not use it as it can cause side effects like thinning of skin and increased fragility.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
