Intolerance to the occlusive dressing (miliary eruptions, folliculitis) may be observed, as with other corticosteroids.

Rash, itchy skin, swelling of the lips, eyes, tongue, or difficulty in breathing may be signs of allergic reaction. Stop using Hydrocortisone Cream immediately. 'Stretch marks' may appear, especially in skin folds such as the groin or armpits.
