If you use hydrocortisone for a long time, it can thin the skin around your anus.
It's best not to use these treatments for more than 7 days and not to repeat these treatments too often. If you have an infection around your bottom, hydrocortisone treatments can make it worse. To prevent infections, wash the itchy or sore area and pat it dry with a soft, clean towel before applying the treatment. Very rarely hydrocortisone gets into the bloodstream.
