Dermatitis Worsened By Hydrocortisone Cream

Hi Nanette,
I think I damaged my face by using hydrocortisone cream for a few weeks for a dermatits condition. The skin became red and thin and I proceeded to use a cream like Aquaphor to create a barrier so it could heal. It actually became dry and flaky but then it started getting better and better. The other night I went into a hot jacuzzi and the next morning, I noticed the redness coming back. Two days later, it is even redder. Now what should I do? Have you heard of this before and will it ever go away permanently? Thank you for your help!
