I'm not sure what you've been using the hydocortizone cream for, but recently I've rediscovered the wonders plain baking soda and VCO.
I'd been detoxing something which was giving my underarms a strong odor even soon after a shower, and deodorants weren't helping. Then I tried BS and VCO and the problem instantly resolved. I'd already been brushing my teeth with VCO and BS which was working well. Now, I'm using a version (softened with some argan oil) for psoriasis plaques and it seems to be helping. Helps itching, too. There are a couple itchy patches that were expanding that are now fading away. I, too, don't want to use petroleum products or even mineral oil, but virgin coconut oil seems to be a helpful carrier and I'm going to experiment with other issues.
