Nucort is a brand-name prescription topical lotion that uses an artificial version of hydrocortisone called hydrocortisone acetate. There is no generic alternative as a lotion.

What is Nucort?
Nucort (hydrocortisone acetate) is a brand-name prescription topical drug that relieves the symptoms of eczema and psoriasis—swelling, redness, itching, and discomfort. Nucort, however, does not treat the underlying condition.
Many of the symptoms of eczema and psoriasis are due to swelling. The hydrocortisone acetate in Nucort is a corticosteroid, a type of drug that reduces swelling. When the hydrocortisone is absorbed into the skin, it begins to block chemicals that cause swelling, and, as the swelling goes down, many of the eczema and psoriasis symptoms subside
Nucort is administered as a lotion as a thin layer over the affected area three to four times a day.
What are the side effects of Nucort?
The most common side effects of Nucort are irritation, stinging, burning, rash, “hair bumps,” hives, and other site reactions. Hydrocortisone may cause skin spots, skin thinning, stretch marks, or acne.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. If you have questions about side effects, consult with your doctor or pharmacist.
