    There are many different types and combinations of topical corticosteroids, and there are many different ways to use them. Follow your doctor's directions and those printed on the packaging. Hydrocortisone, the most effective anti-itch steroid, is available in a variety of different forms, including paste, stick, foam, gel, liquid, pad, ointment, lotion, spray, cream and solution.
