- onethought 5y agoWhich ones?
- robbiep 5y agoDerm aid is a widely known trade name available in 0.5% or 1% hydrocort formulations on the shelf of any pharmacy you walk into
- girvo 5y agoThey absolutely are. I have some in my cupboard right now, including some quite strong ones (one of which is brand new to being OTC).
