What is the lowest potency topical steroid mentioned?

  1. Mometasone furoate 0.1% Cream

  2. Hydrocortisone Cream 1%

  3. Fluocinonide 0.05% cream

  4. Betamethasone dipropionate 0.05% cream

The correct answer is: Hydrocortisone Cream 1%

The other options listed in the question are all more potent than the answer choice given. Mometasone furoate 0.1% cream is a medium strength steroid, while fluocinonide 0.05% cream and betamethasone dipropionate 0.05% cream are both high potency steroids. It is important to consider potency when using topical steroids, as stronger medications can have more potential side effects and may not be appropriate for all skin conditions. Hydrocortisone 1% cream is the lowest potency option mentioned, making it a good choice for mild or sensitive skin conditions.
