For Aphthous Ulcer "I have had these ulcers since I was a child. The only thing I ever knew to use was a painkiller like Orajel. I also used something called CankA, which was simply liquid benzocaine that burns like hell when applied. Unfortunately, neither of them lasts more than a few minutes. Then I learned about something called Lexanox, but I'm not sure if that was very effective. Ultimately, I found this triamcinolone acetonide... Wow, am I ever impressed by this stuff. Every time I used it, it cleared up the ulcer extremely quickly. I learned from doing extensive research on the subject because I was so pestered by these things, and now my young son is as well, that it is very important to begin the medication during what is called the 'prodromal' stage, which means at the very outset of the ulcer's appearance. So now, every time I have one pop up, I hit it immediately with this triamcinolone, and my experience with using it for probably 2 years or so is that it gets rid of it within just a day. Try it!"

For Eczema "My 4-year-old has been using this cream for the past 3 years because she has eczema on her elbows only (seems weird) only during the wintertime, and it works like a charm! Love this medicine, highly recommended to do the job!"

For Psoriasis "This product is great with controlling my psoriasis, but I became pregnant twice last year and miscarried both times. The only thing I did exactly the same was use this cream. It isn't 100% positive that the cream is the cause, but it's the only common denominator. I'm currently pregnant and have made it 6 weeks longer than the last 2 and am not using the cream! Using vitamin E oil instead of the cream, and it's working out for me so far."

For Dermatitis "I had a horrible red rash on the inside of my elbow that itched and burned. A doctor prescribed betamethasone, but that made it even worse, so a dermatologist prescribed this. This didn't make it worse, but it stayed the same. I had an old prescription for desonide gel that I put on, and that turned it around, but it was too drying, so I switched back to this. Then, it continued to heal. I attribute my healing to desonide, but I think this helped once it got a kickstart from the desonide gel."

For Eczema "I started using this cream yesterday for poison ivy rash, and so far there's been no change to the itching. I will be going to urgent care on Monday if things continue to not change, as I am miserable."

Triamcinolone topical for Eczema "I've had eczema with blisters only on my hands for over 15 years, and I'm now 74. Kenalog injections is the only medication that clears up the skin of peeling, itching, and burning in days. My dermatologist tried various types of creams with little relief over the years. He indicated seasonal changes plus stress are probably the main causes of my flare-ups every 6 to 8 months. He indicated there is no known cure. He indicated several of his patients get regular Kenalog injections for similar conditions."

Triamcinolone topical for Psoriasis "I have had psoriasis since I was 20, so it's been 18 years. Recently, no ointments have been working for the psoriasis on my leg. It has been 3 days since my first Kenalog shots, and the plaque already looks 35% better. It is still a little itchy, but nowhere near where it was before. I go back in 3 weeks to potentially have another set of injections if I need them. My skin was already hyperpigmented from other steroid ointments, so I do not know if my skin will get darker yet or not."

"I have been using Rising Triamcinolone dental paste for four weeks now. For an open wound on the inside back side of my throat. I was told to spread it inside and around the outside. I find it useless, it doesn't spread."

Triamcinolone topical "Squamous cell carcinoma on finger. I have had numerous positive squamous cell carcinoma biopsies and spray treatments. Dr. thinks I’ve been exposed to arsenic poisoning. I can’t imagine how! This one's on little finger and bleeds and is crusty. It’s been there for years. Reddish and whitish scaly looking. Have used this ointment now for 2 weeks day and night. No improvement yet. He said after the 2 weeks to cut back to once every 3 days. I just don’t know what to do. Rather have the spot cut out. See him again in 3 months."

For Atopic Dermatitis "Please do not use this. I’ve been dealing with a nasty groin rash for about 3 years. I’ve tried bleach baths, I've taken antibiotics, and a lot of nasty creams just like this one. It’s an immune suppressor, so it lowers your immune system, makes you feel worse. This has to be the worst cream ever, didn’t help at all."

For Eczema "I’ve had eczema since birth. I’m 20 years old, still suffer from it, but have it under control throughout the year. I usually get flare-ups once it starts to get really hot outside or really cold inside. Specifically, my inner arm, upper lip, and eyes. Anyways, this stuff works, literally takes a couple of hours to bring down the redness. But then again, I apply this as soon as I see a spot flare up. I did, however, one night break out in a whole eczema hive episode Lol, and lathered this topical up on my neck and entire face. By the time I woke up, it was clear, thank goodness."

Triamcinolone topical "I used enough to just cover the ulcerated area, once nightly. It usually cleared up within a week. I suffered no side effects and it was very easy to use. It's not a permanent condition, but I do get the occasional recurrence."

Triamcinolone topical for Eczema "I use the injection form but have found that it is almost impossible to find since the start of the COVID pandemic. Can someone tell me where to find or an alternate injection similar in the same class? Kenalog works well when it can be found."

Triamcinolone topical "I have a very severe allergy to pecan and hickory pollen, which represents about 40% of the trees in my area. My doctor gave me this because three antihistamines, a nasal spray, and two inhalers couldn't control my symptoms. Unfortunately, it didn't do much except make me tired and moody. My allergies are just as bad, and my asthma is about to land me in the hospital."

Triamcinolone topical "I find this injection to be highly effective. I suffer from joint pain and stiffness, which Kenalog helps with. The only drawback is the appetite enhancement and resulting weight gain. Maybe an appetite suppressant should be prescribed alongside it."

For Aphthous Ulcer "This drug is worth its weight in gold. I get a mouth ulcer every 6 months or so and I’ve learned to have a prescription of this medicine filled in my cabinet. I just apply a tiny, tiny amount to the sore with a Q-tip. By morning it’s feeling much better and usually gone in a couple of days. Tremendously effective!"

"The dermatologist has prescribed this several times for my prurigo nodularis. I have told her it does not help. I personally don't like this medication. The only thing that actually helps is clindamycin topical. I feel sure if they gave me clindamycin oral, it would clear the condition completely."

Triamcinolone topical "Dr. gave me a 60mg injection which helps reduce inflammation, which in turn helps reduce pain and stiffness. I will get this injection every 3 or 4 months. I have no side effects, and usually get 4 months of relief out of one injection."

For Dermatitis "The triamcinolone cream works absolutely great on poison ivy. Instead of taking a regimen of prednisone, I rubbed this cream on the affected spots, and it was totally gone in 2 days!"
