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 Hi, i have a dry red area on the head of my penis. I'm not circumcised. It has been like this for maybe 4mths and was probably caused by not using a condom. In the past i treated it with Canestan cream and it stopped it drying out but was occasionally itchy. It never quit so i saw a doctor who put me on some tablets (sorry don't have name) and i had to apply triamcinolone acetonide lotion twice a day after showering.
Avatar m tn Decadron® (dexamethasone) 4 mg is not the therapeutic equivalent of Kenalog® (triamcinolone acetonide) 80 mg. Using the Lexi-Calc corticosteroid conversion formula, the ratio of the 2 would be close to 5:1. So it would take Decadron® (dexamethasone) 16 mg to be approximately the equivalent of Kenalog® (triamcinolone acetonide) 80 mg.
Avatar m tn I am a 27 year old military male living in N. Dakota due to military orders. I do not smoke, drink alcohol, or do drugs. In June 2010 I noticed white spots on my upper lip. The next day my upper & lower lips were extremely dry and had a scaly crust-like exterior which looks extremely terrible. I thought they were just chapped. I started using regular vaseline and other types of lip balms you find at retail stores. I used so many different things from vitamins, lip balms, oils...you name it.

Apply calamine lotion at the site of the lesions and see if it helps. You could take some oral antihistamine medications like cetrizine or loratadine. You need to maintain a good personal hygiene .
Avatar m tn Has anyone had an issues with using Clobex/Clobetasol on their private area and the skin ended up turning red? I found out it causes atrophy and I hope I didn't cause any serious damage to the skin. Is there anyway I can have my skin normal again?

Avatar m tn 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?
Avatar f tn I decided to take her to a different allgerist for a second opinion. At this point she was placed on Zyrtec 5mg BID, Orapred 15 mg q daily x 5 days and Triamcinolone cream BID. The plaques were beginning to get better and I have seen some encouraging results regarding them. However, 2 days after finishing the Orapred, she has developed an extremely itchy rash from her neck almost to her knees. The rash is slightly raised and red.

Medium-potency corticosteroids such as clobetasone butyrate (Eumovate), Betamethasone Valerate (Betnovate) or triamcinolone are also available.

Avatar n tn ve also been treated by my dermatologist for infected eczema along my entire body (thanks to my extended stay in the caribbeans) with Clobetasol Propionate and antibiotics. The dermatologist actually recommended that I apply the topical steroid SPARINGLY to the inflamed regions of my face, since normal hydrocortisone was not working to get rid of residual inflammation around my eye. The last time I have put that on was back in March 2011.

Nothing seems to work for more than a few minutes. My skin condition doesn't appear to be contagious. A dermatologist suggested that I have eczema, but didn't do any tests to arrive at that diagnosis. I'd like to see another dermatologist but I am uninsured.

Avatar m tn Visual diagnosis 3 years ago as plaque psoriasis in the genital area and prescribed Triamcinolone cream 1%. When I felt itchy, I began using the cream immediately.

I have not used the cream and have had a lot of pain and outbreak in the same 2 sites.
Avatar m tn She gave me a shot, an antibiotic prescription (Cephalexin) for my swollen legs and feet and an ointment prescription (Clobetasol). Plus she told me to take warm baths 3x weekly with 2 TBS bleach in the water. Plus put on Aveeno Eczema cream over top the Clobetasol 2x daily. I also purchased a whole house humidifier to keep the humidity at 40-45%. The condition began to improve immediately and I thought I was on my way to a cure. I did get a reaction to the meds (antibiotics?
Avatar n tn For three months now I have been suffering tremendously and still need to go back to th doctor as the rash comes back after the Prednisone wears off. I have already contacted VS and so far, they said the are sending me an envelope for me to send them my presumably formaldehyde-poisoned bras! I would really appreciate any information on who to contact.
Avatar n tn After 2 years of suffering from rectal itching, I was diagnosed by a surgeon with puritus ani. I tried every suggestion for diet modification; no alchohol, caffiene, citric acid, spicy food, fried food, tomato based food, dairy, even limited red meat. I treat the area gently, don't over clean, shower after bowel movements, drink lots of water, added fiber with metamucil, and protect the area with desitin baby rash ointment, (zinc oxide cream).
