Hydrocortisone and the Shellfish Free Diet

Hydrocortisone is a corticosteroid that is primarily used to treat inflammation and allergic reactions in medical and cosmetic applications.

In the context of diet and food, hydrocortisone is not typically used as an ingredient, and its presence is more common in topical creams, ointments, and certain medications.
