Brief Answer: Can be applied if it is eczema. Detailed Answer: Dear Friend. Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern. If Eczema is confirmed, then you may apply Hydrocortisone locally, if on glans once a day and if on shaft twice a day, maximum for 5 days. You should apply a very thin layer. I would still advise you to consult your doctor, if you have yourself made the diagnosis of Eczema or the diagnosis is uncertain. This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any query you may please ask me. Stay Healthy. Dr Anshul Varshney , MD
