Another random (medical) thing.

This nice hydrocortizone cream I have, the one with the chemical diagram on its insert (I tried to get a GIF, baratron, but the digital camera is being pissy again; I'll give it another go when Kevin's around and awake and I remember ;) ) and the comment in said insert saying, basically, "Well, it works, but we don't really know why" -- well, I don't know how. But it works. A lot of the skin irritation I was having has almost entirely cleared up, in an almost "Poof-shazam" manner. I feel much happier now, and I bet that the stuff will last a long time if it's this effective. (Though we'll see if it relapses immediately upon lack of coating with goo.)

The pharmacuetical company will have a duplicate of that information up on their website, including the picture and the toxicity studies, and all those goodies. I frequently go forage for that kind of information.
