Are you talking about hydrocortisone cream?

Oral hydrocortisone, typically 15–25 mg daily, taken in divided doses is used for adrenal insufficiency.

Topical hydrocortisone cream is more for localized inflammation on areas of the skin.

Hydrocortisone is short acting so in theory, hydrocortisone tablets don't suppress adrenal function all day long like prednisone tablets do.
