( at least it was the cheapest that CVS had at that time ) Most CVS store-brand and/or generic items are good though , strange , but I won't buy Hydrocortesone cream there anymore . tim - Hide quoted text -- Show quoted text -> Julie , > My experience seems to have shown that the Hydrocortesone prescription > cream base rubs-in-to the skin well , and , the OTC cream ( at least > generic ) leaves a greasey residue and does not fully rub-in which is > probably partially why the OTC barely works at all . > Hmm...

Hmm... I haven't noticed that and I usually buy whatever is the cheapest. Currently I have some stuff from Family Dollar. Worked just fine on mosquito bites. -- Type 2 http://users.bestweb.net/~jbove/
Response:
Then buy the ointment instead of the cream. At least then it will stick. - Hide quoted text -- Show quoted text - > I am pretty-dog-gone-sure that it is mostly the CHEAP cream base that > makes Over The Counter Hydrocortesone a waste of time and money . > tim > > I never thought about any difference.
