Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM
Hydrocortisone is a topical steroid whereas Nystatin is a topical anti-fungal cream. Topical antifungals can have irritation and redness as the most common side effect but the frequency of this to happen is like 1 in 1000. So, the chances are miniscule that you will have any redness or irritation to it. However, if in case you develop any irritation or redness you should see a doctor immediately.
take care
