OK, that's news to me. I didn't know hydrocortisone cream contained
antibiotics.

Nor anybody else

It's better to let a professional do the prescribing.

it seems I made a mistake about the antibiotics however the quote from the
source you provided states.....

"This reduces swelling, redness and itch. Hydrocortisone is a mild
corticosteroid that is applied to the skin to treat a wide variety of
inflammatory skin disorders, such as eczema or insect bite reactions.

I have severe reactions to bites, this stuff works!
