Q: Is It Safe...

Would it be safe to use Hyrdocortisone 2% creme on genitals (specifically scrotum)?

I have a kind of large patch of repeatedly dry skin, and Hyrdocortisone 2% fixed the same thing on my face a while ago, so I was thinking it would help with the dry patch of skin on my scrotum, just making sure this stuff is safe to use down there.

Yes it's safe. Just keep the cream away from the urethra.

i would assume its safe. just as long as it stays on skin and doesnt get inside the urethra or any other opening. vacilene would also work well, too, however its oily.
