Will this work for eczema ? ## Yes, in topical preparations, Triamcinolone is commonly used to treat eczema. Learn more Triamcinolone details here. I can't say whether or not it will definitely work for you, in respect to that, you can only try it and see if it helps. What else have you tried?

I was given this by my dermatologist for poison ivy. So far it is not working. OTC anti-itch is helping. ## How long have you been using it? It is a steroid based cream, so it won't work instantly like some of the other topical ointments do. It will require a few days to start having an effect. Learn more Triamcinolone details here. However, many times, poison ivy will just clear up on its own, as long as you are careful not to scratch and dig at, so it spreads.

My doctor prescribed triamcinolone acetonide cream,0.1 for a burning sensation in my tongue which I got after getting a bridge done . I have to apply two times a day. I am concern that if will have any bad effect on me?. I paste it on my tongue and it felt like a thick paste and very unpleasant taste. ## Hello, Kitty! How are you doing? Are you sure that you're supposed to be using it in your mouth? This is usually used topically on the skin and not taken internally. Have you consulted your dentist? That might be a better idea to find a solution to this issue.

Why is this cream not recommended for application in the groin area? ## Because it hasn't been formulated to be safely used in such areas. It's just like being told not to take it internally, since it may contain ingredients that aren't safe if swallowed. Various areas of the body are more sensitive and require products that are made to be used there. Learn more Triamcinolone details here. Is there anything else I can help with? ## My daughter, 10 months old, was prescribed this cream for her eczema. Her daycare put the cream all over her private parts and now she is bright red with open sores. Waiting to take her to the doctor. Is this a chemical reaction to the cream?

I used triaminolone 0.1% on my face,it did clear up my face. But, now my face is starting to break out. What can I use to clear up my face? ## Hello, Ree! How are you? Triamcinolone is classified by the FDA as a corticosteroid, which means it can cause acne as a side effect. Thus, it's likely just going to take time for your body to process it, so the breakout stops and clears up. Other side effects may possibly include skin redness, dryness and irritation. Is there anything else I can help with?

My doctor prescribed nystatin and triamcinolone acetonide to be used for yeast infection in my nose. Is it safe to use the cream inside the nostrils. ## Hello, Red! How are you?

I have a 6 month old tattoo and was prescribed this for my psoriasis. Will this affect the tattoos longevity? ## Hi Dez, I noticed there was another discussion thread here asking a similar question and just wanted to share the link with you: Ref - Can I use triamcinolone cream on my new tattoo I've also read reports from others with tattoos who have used steroid creams and didn't experience any fading. However my personal view is that a fading tattoo would probably come secondary to my health; especially since it can be retouched. Have you considered researching any natural alternatives for psoriasis treatment? My brother used to have psoriasis and had success with light therapy. Apple cider vinegar has also been touted as a treatment option. Hope this helps!

Just wanted to know can i use triamcinolone acetonide cream on flea bites on my neck. ## Hello, Freddie! How are you? Wow! How many times did they bite you? I've always hated fleas, because they can bite multiple times and they are so hard to get rid of, totally annoying pests. Years ago, I had a cat that became anemic due to flea bites, even though I'd treated him with flea preventatives, they didn't work, after a nice vet bill, I discovered that I needed to use a more potent one on him, and they had me use one for small dogs. As to the cream, it may help with the itching, if your doctor approves of your using it, however, according to the FDA, it may also cause itching as a side effect, along with skin dryness, cracking, burning and rash.

A compounded white cream prescribed for relief from itching / skin rashes ## Why would my dermatologist prescribe this when I don't itch? He says I have Schamburg's Purpura. May or may not go away.

External Genital Cream for Dryness ## I have an irritation on my bottom around my vaginal area and back onto the rectal area. I have a RX that my doctor gave me to put on my bottom a few months ago, but I'm not sure it is the same problem that I had before The RX is NYSTAT/TRIAM CREAM. Is this the right thing to put on it? ## It is really best not to use anything, without your doctor's approval. Using the wrong treatment could actually worsen some problems. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including skin redness, irritation, and flakiness. Carol, what was the cause of the problem last time?

Can triamcinolone be used when in the sun? If not, is it possible to simply wash off the residue before sun exposure, or is it the drug that gets absorbed the problem? Also, if sun exposure is a problem, how long after I stop using the cream can I spend time in the sun? Thank you. ## Hello, Wolfwoman! How are you? Yes, it can make you more susceptible to the effects of the sun and washing it off won't help, since some is absorbed systemically. If you need to go out in the sub, it's best to be cautious and use clothing and strong sun protection to protect yourself and avoid prolonged exposure, according to the NIH. It may take several weeks, before things return to normal, after your done treating with it. Other side effects, as listed by the FDA, may include skin redness, irrita...

i use this cream on my child. i put some on my finger to rub on his body and my finger start itching and a tingle feeling. my finger is now broke out with this white looking substain on my finger itches very bad. ## Did your child's skin break out as well or was it just your finger? It sounds like you may be experiencing an allergic reaction or side effect to the medication. What's odd is that Triamcinolone is used to treat the itching, redness, dryness, crusting, scaling, inflammation, and discomfort of various skin conditions. Yet one can experience itching, redness, etc, as a side effect of it. I think the link below may be of help to you if you are seeking more details on applying the cream and other side effect related information: nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/meds/a601...
