Hydrocortisone?
I know hydrocortisone is good for irritation, inflammation, etc. Of skin, but it also decreases collagen synthesis. Is using it regularly on one’s penis a good idea? I see its use recommended often in the PE community, likely to deal with the irritation and inflammation caused by what we’re subjecting ourselves to, but I am starting to question if long term, regular use is a good idea.
Here’s why:
Conclusions: Continuous hydrocortisone for 3 weeks markedly decreases collagen propeptides and corresponding mRNA in human skin. Intermittent hydrocortisone has a less marked effect on the collagen synthesis rate.
Any opinions?
