User Reviews for triamcinolone acetonide topical

I have vitiligo and my dermatologist put me on this medication. I use it only 2 times per day for 2 days per week. The other medication I am using in Opzelura. I believe it is the Opzelura that has brought back some of the pigment to my face and chest areas more than the triamcinolone but so far I will continue to use as per her directions. No adverse reaction to either cream. I have been on these meds since March 2024.

I was given this for a skin rash and other skin problems and i have shingles so i decided to try it it helped a lot so i asked my Dr she told me to go ahead and use it it clears them up better than anything else I've tried

Worked great within a matter of days.

I was, and continue to, experience itchiness and sometime a rash in my upper chest (above nipple-line), back and shoulders. The dermatologist I saw recommended Triamcinolone cream be applied daily for 2 weeks followed by CeraVe cream for 2 weeks. The Triamcinolone indeed caused the itchiness to recede however within a few days the itchiness did return with the discontinued use. A second round of application was recommended with the very same results. The Triamcinolone was only able to put the problem in check for a limited time. Essentially, the product was able to have an effect on the symptom but did not address the actual cause of the problem. In a follow-up visit the dermatologist recommended another topical ointment reminiscent of petroleum jelly only much thicker, I do not remember the name of the drug, which had no effect on the symptom or cause. When I suggested the possibility of something dietary or environmental, even though nothing had changed in my diet or environment, the dermatologist quickly suggested seeing an allergist for further evaluation into the possible causation. In short, and in my experience, the very expensive Triamcinolone was scantly better than the anti-itch products available over the counter.Read More Read Less

Applied for a week with little success. Eventually had to try another medicine which had some success however 6 weeks on I still have the hives.

I break out in a rash (abdomen) when playing intense pickleball in warm/hot weather. This cream starts to clear up the rash very quickly!

I gest stated using this medication I have jest got new dental work my teeth made my mouth sore and red .

I suddenly developed eczema at age 61. Nothing my doctor has given me has help from harsh prescription shampoo to different oils, creams and this medication. I cannot use any hair products of any kind except shampoo. I also get breakout on my upper body but my scalp is the worst.

i get eczema flare ups like really bad once a year it gets super itchy and i have dry patches mostly by my ankles and legs. as soon as i put this cream on i get instant relief from the itching i love it

After I broke out with Eczema over most of my body the VA prescribed this cream to help the itching and to clear up the affected areas. It worked great.

Adult onset dermatitis. Had it for years but never saw a dermatologist. Applied and itching, rash, and bumps were gone in two days. Only use 1x daily, every 4-5 days now rather than two weeks on, one week off, as DR suggested. Eczema is still there but minimal now

I’ve been using this cream for as long as I can remember which is about 5. Any time I have a flare up I use this cream and then put in lotion I usually have to use it for 3 days for the itching to completely go away depending how bad the flare up is or change of weather. It says use it for 14 days but I’ve never used it that long but once I shower then apply the cream within an hour it dosent itch as bad.

Has cleared up most of my skin condition, helped control itching condition also.

I had an allergic reaction to this medication when I applied it to my hand I felt light-headed and dizzy after you I told my doctor he didn't believe it I told the pharmacy they didn't believe it the pharmacy gave me a list of things I experienced and tell me it was that and something else a prescriber

Doctors are not quite sure what my rash is from, but it's probably dermatitis. This cream did not work at all for me.

Was Rx'ed the 0.1% topical ointment for a rash of unknown origin/type. Used it liberally on arms & legs for about 6 days before I started to feel anxious & moody, so I stopped for 2 days. My ear canals were also crusty & burning. Felt better so I resumed using it for 1 more day & the symptoms got worse again so discontinued permanently. That was about a month ago. Ever since, I've had bizarre side effects including: worsening ear infection (dx'ed "Swimmer's Ear" by doctor), dry itchy scalp + hair loss, white peach fuzz growth on my face(!), severe bloating, stretch marks that weren't there before & increasingly dry skin around my nose/mouth. And ZERO improvement in the original rash. I know meds affect people differently but I feel sorry for anyone taking this stuff internally. Read More Read Less

My doctor told me I have an immune deficiency disease that is attacking my mouth & prescribed this. I'm nervous to put it in my mouth. Anyone used it this way?

I love this stuff. It starts working right away providing immediate itch relief and reduced soreness and ultimately clears up any flare up within a few days.

I have had uncontrollable itching since I got my Covid booster. My doctor started me on this since Benadryl, Benadryl cream, Benadryl spray & hydrocortisone did not relieve the itching. This cream almost instantly took the itching away. It did not cure the itchy rash that I have but has been a god sin to relieve the itching.

Developed a severe reaction to poison ivy on my forearms. It developed into large yellow blisters, swelling, inflammation, and itching. I used ice packs for relief. The doctor prescribed the Triamcinolone Acetonide 0.1% cream applied twice daily. After three days my condition improved immensely. The blisters receded and five days later the yellowish-red skin color was returning to normal. This treatment was very effective for me.
