I have had an itching scalp for over a year now and have seen several Dr s finally I found a Dermatologist that wants to get to the bottom of the problem. The itch has been so bad I sit at the side of my bed and cried. I have spent so much money on everything. On antibiotics, you name it. I am presently on antibiotics now. The pain is awful! I have scratched so bad that I bleed, the bumps on my head keep appearing. So there is my story!
I have been diagnosed as having psoriasis on my scalp. For years I was so embarrassed. A friend gave me some triamcinolone acetone 10 percent and it cleared it right up. However if I stop using it it comes right back, but it works great for me. Also I was prescribed selenium sulfide 2.5 and it also clears it right up. I hope this helps like it helped me. I wish there was a cure though.
t be able to get to the dermatologists for a couple months, and last night I just found Triamcinolone Acetonide Cream 0.1% which I believe my doctor gave to me awhile ago when I complained about dry skin before it was this bad.
So my question is would this give me any relief if I used this on my face and is it still usable as it says it expired in the beginning of 2010 but its been unopened and in a cool cabinet?
Everything was on outer areas only. I found out my boyfriend cheated on me with multiple people, got tested for STDs, and came back negative for everything. It's been about a month and the bumps did not spread, hurt, blister, etc. They look like pimples but with nothing inside them- just raised skin. If I pop one, it bleeds for a few seconds and then stops and that's it. No pain, burning, or spreading.
I am sure you are aware of Keloid treatment. If not, then Triamcinolone 10–20 mg per ml intralesional; cryotherapy; silicone gel sheet; compression dressing; superficial orthovoltage, radiation therapy; surgical excision with postoperative interferon or imiquimod will help.
Keep me informed if you have any queries.
Bye.
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.
Patches of scaliness that itch and burn badly turn up quickly on my scalp. They usually turn into hard bumps that hurt. They take a long time to heal. A week ago, I had 2=3 of them. Presently, I have about 24.
The dermatologist helped me the last time by prescribing Kenalog spray. Is ther anything I can do for relief, until I can get an appointment?
A complete physical examination is needed to rule out an underlying scalp disease.Hair loss may be associated with scalp disease such as a fungal infection and seborrheic dermatitis.
A microscopic evaluation of scalp scrapings or skin scrapings may help determine the presence of a fungal infection.Treating the underlying problem will help resolve hair loss.

Hello Dr. HHH/ Dr. EWH,
I'm a straight male. I have taken a HIV I & II Antigen and Antibody Screening Test 12 weeks after my exposure, which should be considered low risk as I read some of the previous threads here. Unprotected Oral Sex and Protected Vaginal Sex, both insertive to a commercial sex worker. Result is non-reactive.
During the window period, I have stopped smoking. I'm quite prone to mouth ulcers and quitting smoking made the mouth ulcers happened more frequent.
Thanks for responding. I am aware of its purpose, however l have used it for 3 years and it stops the bumps from appearing. As soon as l get tingling, l start to use it and l do not get an outbreak. I am just healing on a lesion that l did not use it on. I have had this lesion for 8weeks and on valtrex the past 2.
Was Hashimoto's Thyroididtis the cause for your hypothyroidism?
Do you have any other symptoms that indicate you might still be slightly hypo?
Please post your thyroid related test results and reference ranges shown on the lab report.
Sherri..that is great news...especially since you have been suffering so many sides. With the early clearance ..you should do just fine.
Also I thought when you first posted..how difficult it must be with you and your hubby going thru this at the same time.. hopfully know you can recover and help him get through the rest of his treatment.
good luck to you both....
I am a black female with scalp issues, I stopped all chemical treatments in 2001. My scalp is very itchy and flaky. I have to wash my hair weekly, if not the flaking gets worse and I get scabs and my scalp starts to smell really bad. I have tried many different medicated shampoos and oils and nothing helps. I have seen a few dermatologists but they were unable to help me, any advice wold be most appreciated.
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.
I have since moved to another state bringing along my past medical records for my new doctor. He said his program does not provide him with Kenalog and so he gave me a shot of Decadron 4 mg every three months. It has been a week since my shot and my allergies are starting to return. What is the difference between the two, and which one is better? Should I seek another doctor or can I go to a clinic and get my shots there since I have my past medical records with me?
I have a lump similar to that in the picture I've attached. What mine looks like is the area below that big hole and instead of being above the crack, it starts right about at the top and goes an inch or so down.
I'm not sure if it's a cyst because I don't have that awful looking hole which is in the picture. This is also not the first time I've had this. It's very uncomfortable to sit on and hurts if I try to look at it.
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.
prescribed Fluocinonide cream usp 0.05 by TARO, I also have on hand Triamcinolone Acetonide cream usp 0.1. Are they interchangeable The rash is getting larger and itches as it grows.
