Hydrocortisone does the opposite of the intended result for sensitive skin!

I had a rash that kept on worsening through winter and then summer. It seemed that when I left it alone it got better even before I went on vacation I would just wash it with water and it was still there but not noticeable at all the rash was on my lower neck and upper chest near my collarbones and spread a little bit In between my breasts. So my doctor prescribed me hydrocortisone cream not even explaining that it was hydrocortisone cream. My doctor told me it was a steroid cream and she did not tell me that I cannot use it as a moisturizer therefore I used more than I should have and it made the areas where my neck creases become very red and have a very bumpy gritty texture. I will no longer trust my doctor after this.
