Is Hydrocortisone An Effective Cure For Itchy Bumps?
I have a hard very small bump on the inside towards the bottom of my big toe that makes the entire tip my my toe severely itchy if I press on the bump it makes the entire tip of the toe painful. Pulled what we though was a splinter from it 4 days ago and have soaked it in peroxide for the last several days with no change. I can reduce the itching by using hydrocortisone It will stop the itch for about 4 hours. any Ideas?

Hi,
It could be an infected cyst.
Consult a general surgeon and get evaluated.
If there is pus collection, it has to be removed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
