Hydrocortisone is a topical corticosteroid, the effects your seeing are vasoconstriction

Brief AI explination:

Hydrocortisone binds to glucocorticoid receptors inside cells, which downregulates vasodilatory substances (like prostaglandins and histamines) and modulates calcium channels in smooth muscle. This forces the tiny, dense network of blood vessels in the nose to constrict.

Through a series of associated effects this causes the nose to decrease in size temporarily however

Some of the effects you want
- Dermal atrophy
- Vasoconstriction
- Decreased permability

All of these things make the nose appear smaller if it was previously inflamed

However,
- the cartilage shape has not been altered
- Skin thickness will reboud
- Results are temporary at best

And you get all of the nasty side effects associated with long term use
- Severe skin thinning
- Easy bruising

Rhinoplasty is a better long term choice instead of ruining your nose w this bs

These long term effects are assuming your using OTC 1%

do wtv u want its ur body, js double check this one
