Avatar n tn Thank you for your reply Bhupinder Kaur, MD it is very much appreciated. I am still using the triamcinolone and the discomfort seems to be reducing. However you mentioned that it does not look like a fungal infection and is perhaps an eczema or dermatitis type ailment. Can you please tell me if steroids are usually prescribed for these types of ailments? Will using steroids (triamcinolone or hydrocortisone) assist with symptoms similar to mine or is calamine a better alternative?
Avatar m tn I go to this weird Korean skin care place for my bacne. A few months ago, they injected triamcinolone+lidocaine into a few specific acne spots. I started itching like crazy, breathing was difficult, and they let me go home after injecting me with an antihistamine (I imagine). Rash went away after my 3 hour nap.
Avatar n tn ve had psoriasis for almost as long as Hep C, 30-35 years. After beginning tx they gave a script for triamcinolone 1%, which works as well, if not better, as anything b4. And it's cheap too! 4$ a Wally-World. Stick with it, it'll work. Stay strong.
Avatar f tn ) or products that may be to blame. Triamcinolone Acetonide is used for treating skin disorders such as psoriasis, rosacea and exzema, so if it is not helping you, then a skin disorder is probably not the issue. The next thing to look at is Shingles (which is related to chicken pox) or another type of virus. I personally broke out in a rash a few years ago that covered me from head-to-toe and was similar to yours. The doctors gave me a cream as well and it didn't do squat.
Avatar f tn I'm 19 years old. I've had 3 ringworm outbreaks in less than a year, but I'm still not sure if it's ringworm. It always starts out with 1, 2, or 3 small red bumps. All the bumps have a white head and can be ruptured. If i scratch it or rupture the bumps by applying cream, it spreads. It is itchy, but only sometimes. But it never forms a circle. The bumps itself is in a circular form, but it is just a cluster of small raised bumps, not a ring with a clear center.
Avatar m tn I've had a rash on my penis for awhile. It doesn't hurt, burn or anything. The last time I had any sexual intercourse was probably over two years ago. I've had this rash since last november, roughly a year. I went to my doctor, and asked if it looked like anything from an STD, and he said "no" he did not think it looked like the side effect of an STD.
Avatar f tn i thought they were scars they were all over where my circumcision was done (around the head).... i used it to treat a rash my dermatologist gave it to me for..... i was freaking out thinking they were scars..... whatever your a doctor and seem pretty smart..... so i will trust you and assume it is not scarring..... the rash has almost cleared but still pink around my pubic hair and thighs.... unfortunately the cream did discolour the head of my penis somewhat to a white patch....
Avatar n tn Creams used to treat jock itch should be applied twice a day for at least two weeks. It can be stopped after the rash has been gone for one week. However, steroids should not be used in the groin alone without consulting your doctor since steroids alone can make the rash of jock itch much worse. If the rash is very red and itchy, especially if it has blisters at the edge, a topical steroid such as hydrocortisone can also be applied aside from the clotrimazole cream.
Avatar m tn Hi, Based on the image this appears to be a generalized rash that is confluent. A generalized rash may suggest a hypersensitivity reaction such as hives and urticaria. An underlying trigger has to be ascertained. In your case, this may be caused by the medication you have mentioned. Also, a fungal infection and contact dermatitis may still be differentials due to the recurrence of the rash. The symptoms are improving and this is a good sign.
Avatar n tn He used Triamcinolone ointment (prescription) on the rash as well. For nausea, he used Zofran (prescription) and drank ginger tea or ate raw ginger.
Avatar f tn Don't use Triamcinolone anymore if you can help it as overuse can cause real problems. We read about it here all the time because it can thin the skin. I would try Psoriaflora cream or clear 100% aloe vera.
Avatar n tn I have been plagued for the last ten weeks with a itching rash that shows up mostly after retiring in the evening. After an hour or so asleep, whatever side of the body I lay on, a very itchy rash appears, I rub, I scratch, and after awhile, I end up going back to sleep and wake up with the itch gone, but an intense sunburn like feeling over those areas that I rubbed or scratched. Eventually, most of my upper torso, back, thighs, arms, shoulders and even the neck area became affected.
Avatar m tn For over a year I have been suffering with a changing rash. Several months before this all started I was stung fifty plus times on each arm by Asian Tiger Mosquitoes. two to three months later the rash broke out on my arms and legs, I had what appeared to be poison which went away and then reappeared. I did have contact with some bushes in the yard a week before the outbreak.
2114131 tn?1399240871 My husband used Eucerin body wash in the shower, took cool showers, used Eucerin moisturizer after the shower, took Hydroxyzine (Atarax), used Triamcinolone (a topical steroid ointment), and we put tea tree oil when he got a few small blisters on his back. You need to check the Incivek website. There are pictures of a "mild rash", a "moderate rash", and a "severe rash".
Avatar m tn Here's a link: https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a601124.html Along with a lot of other helpful information, it says changes in skin color are one of the known side effects. Why are you using a steroid ointment for a rash, do you think it's psoriasis? If you think the rash has a bacterial cause, you might want to use Neosporin or Polysporin or some other over-the-counter antibacterial ointment, not a steroid.
Avatar f tn My son, at 8 months, was given the aformentioned med for treatment of excema. The warning my doctor gave was to ensure it doesn't get in his face.My husband and I deployed leaving my mother in law to care for our son. She mistakenly put the med on his face and the area around his mouth is now discolored. He's a brown skinned baby with a huge white patch around his mouth. She applied this med over a year ago and we have been told by other doc that the color would come back in a year.
2091106 tn?1332817998 I'm calling it a rash, but I don't really know what it is. I took a picture of it and downloaded it as my profile picture. It itches and is a redish color. I have had it for a couple months and it hasn't gone away. I have been using Triamcinolone Acetonide cream from someone, but it hasn't helped. I don't have any money to see a doctor so any help would be great.
1415174 tn?1453243103 I had the same looking rash on both legs about a month and a half ago for the first time. Thought it was some sort of bites since at around the same time I started a vegetable garden and spent a lot of time in my yard. Itchy red rashes on the bottom of my legs, swelling around the rash and ankles. I used tea tree oil to sooth the itching. About 5-6 days later most of the rash was gone. Yesterday I got the same exact rash again in the same spots. This time it was worse.
Avatar n tn i have a ringworm shaped rash on my right aerola that appeared a week ago and started as a red small dot like a mosquito bite yesterday it only was on the outside edges of my aerola. now it is shaped like a ringworm!!. should I be thinking cancer??? or a type of fungus and any suggestions of ointment I can use? I have a 2yr old rx of triamcinolone acetonide . .
Avatar n tn I have had a purple rash for 2 years in the groin area. My doctor diagnosed it as a yeast infection similar to jock itch. i was given nystatin/triamcinolone acetonide cream to use. It keeps the rash from getting worse but it has not gone away. my underwear causes irritation. No weeping at the site either and no odor. I do not think it is yeast but do not know what it is. Whay do you think?
Avatar n tn Just wanted to post an update, I still have the bumps I had previously, but now I have more of them. My doctor said it was contact dermatitis, and prescribed Triamcinolone Acetonide cream. I've been applying it for about a week now and it isn't working in the slightest bit. I don't expect a response from anyone, (maybe I posted this in the wrong section?) but a response would be really great.
Avatar f tn so recently I seen I had what looked like a rash in my buttcrack.. it wasn’t itchy it nor irritating it just looked more like a rash.. I could easily forget about it since it didn’t bother me. Doctor told me I had anal fissure and prescribed me with Triamcinolone the first time and Hydrocortisone 2.5 and I’ve taken oral medication for 14 days as well the second time and now since applying the creams my buttcrack is all discolored and white.
