I have eczema and was recently prescribed hydrocortizone valerate. It has been over six hours since I applied a small amount of this hydrocortizone to the effected areas, my hands. My hand started itching and, out of an old habit to quickly moisturize the area, I licked that part of my skin. I thought I tasted something funny and realised that it was hydrocortizone cream, but I don t know whether I actually ingested any of it or if there was even any to ingest. I rinsed my mouth out several times and spit out several times to the point of drying my mouth. Should I be concerned? Do I need to seek help immediately?
