Is hydrocortisone 1% steroid cream harmful in anyway?

I%26#039;m using it and would like to know if there are any side effects. Mum says it can affect hormones after prolonged use? Most I%26#039;ve read is that it may cause a rash.|||Using the cream long term can cause the skin to thin and strech marks (just in the areas you are frequently applying). If you have eczema or something of the like and need the cream a lot, you should see a doc for steroid-free prescription options.
