Looking for a dermatologist which can prescribe hydrocortisone liquid

This seems to deliver to Taiwan?

I looked at that site recently for something else, and the shipping fees seemed excessive. This is showing up as NT$509 for the product plus NT$672 for standard shipping and NT$192 for customs (NT$1373 total), so you’d have to be pretty desperate.

All dermatologists I visited had betamethasone liquid. But I couldn’t yet find somewhere that prescribes hydrocortisone liquid. It’s just something that works with less potent steroid in my experience.

I looked on a couple of hospital medication search engines and it doesn’t seem to be readily available here. Liquid hydrocortisone seems to be just an American convenience thing (because they can charge 10x more by repackaging it). Is this what you’ve seen in pharmacies?

If so, maybe you could dilute it fivefold/tenfold in 50% aqueous ethanol or coconut oil or something. Or do the same with 1% hydrocortisone cream/ointment (though it would then be weaker than 1% of course). I’d just use the cream/ointment, personally.
