im not to sure if i am in the correct forum, so i do apologize if i am. So i have a mild sweat rash, i am using daktacort(contains hydrocortisone). Before i was about to apply it, i remembered i read hydrocortisone cream weakens the immune system, although the website doesn't exactly make it clear if the oral tablets or cream do this. this wouldn't be an issue but i received a tetanus vaccine and meningitis vaccine on Monday the 24th January. I am probably being over paranoid, i just dont no if i can use the cream with having these vaccinations within the same week, as i say i am probably being way to paranoid.

    Speak to your doctor first. Cream doesnt really affect the internal system, but tablets do.
