Triamcinolone topical "This injection is amazing for major flare-ups that are not controllable by atopic cream. I had a shot a year ago, and it cleared up my skin completely within 4 days. I stayed clear for a year exactly before my next flare-up, and I went back for this same injection. Highly recommend for relief and the embarrassment of the flare-ups."

"I've used this ointment for years for poison ivy, and it works great. I'm always getting poison ivy (I live in the middle of the woods), but I know I've got this medicine at home, so I'm not ultra paranoid about it. Better than anything else I've tried."

"I had been to several dermatologists, all gave different diagnoses and different medications. None of them helped. I decided showing up at the emergency room couldn't hurt (last straw). So the doctor prescribed me this medication. Within minutes of applying, it went to work beautifully. The redness disappeared, and the blemishes started clearing within days. I had suffered for years with a skin problem so severe that I rarely left the house. Thank God for this ER doctor who prescribed this for me."

Triamcinolone topical "I got this shot after my hands turned unrecognizable from pain and eczema. I struggle with this all the time in every season. I could not believe how much Kenalog helped me. It erased all signs of eczema in a little over a week. I went back to the doctor just to THANK her for this. I would give it a 10, but it's not perfect. It began to come back (though not nearly as severe) about six weeks later. It will definitely get you over the uncontrollable outbreaks."

Triamcinolone topical "I was diagnosed with eczema. When I scratched, the skin just rolled off. Underneath was red, bloody, raw skin. The scales would heal over it, but the skin underneath was raw. My feet and body swelled. The tropicals only made my rashes itch and dried them more. Finally, I found a doctor who prescribed Kenalog 10. I had stopped being able to wear shoes or heels. Anything that bound my feet swelled, and it itched for hours. The Kenalog 10 almost immediately stopped these reactions. After about 3 weeks, the itching was barely there. My skin began to heal. My doctor gave me injections once every 6 weeks. After a month and a half, I could wear shoes again, and my skin was clear. I had to change my doctor. My new doctor wouldn't give me the injections. It's been about two years since I have stopped the injections. My eczema has spread, and I am constantly itching, scratching off the new scaly skin until it bleeds. I haven't been able to find a doctor who will give me the medicine."

"The triamcinolone ointment was prescribed because I had been diagnosed with contact dermatitis on my foot and leg. They believe it was caused by the cast I was wearing because I broke my left ankle. I'm also a diabetic and insulin-dependent for 32 years. The ointment has been very helpful for my skin condition. I have experienced some side effects such as slight burning and itching sensations, but they went away after the 3rd or 4th day of use. My skin is starting to dry out, and the dead dry skin is starting to fall off. The dermatitis also spread to my hands, thighs, forearms, and buttocks. I have been applying the ointment to all affected areas. It seems to be helping. I would recommend this ointment for contact dermatitis treatment."

"I've had an annoying, extremely itchy rash on my ankle. Wearing boots or high socks triggered a massive itch all the time. Even while sleeping, if I had my ankle on the sheet, I'd wake up severely itchy. I tried everything over the counter and a few prescribed products. My doctor prescribed me the cream, and the itching went away in an instant! After four years of agony, it finally stopped itching! The rash itself hasn't gone away yet, but at least it isn't looking gnarly and gross from extensive itching anymore! This stuff is amazing!!!"

"It really is the only thing that has worked for me. The downside is that it's prescription only, and my doctor doesn't want to keep giving it to me. I guess it's supposed to be bad for you in long-term use. A shame because I have tried every cream and ointment available over the counter, and nothing worked. This did."

Triamcinolone topical "I had pain in the canals of my ears, which prevented me from wearing hearing aids. The audiologist provided me with medication that was supposed to prevent this condition. It didn't help at all. When I visited my doctor at the VA Clinic, she asked me if I was wearing my hearing aids. I told her of my problem with ear pain, and she prescribed Triamcinolone Acetonide 0.1% with the comment, 'See if this helps you.' After applying it to my ear canal, there was an immediate soothing effect, and by the next day, the pain was gone. The pain returns in about a month but disappears again with another application. It does not cure the problem but does give almost immediate and long-lasting pain relief."

"So I've had dermatitis for the last 10 years or so, and nothing has helped at all. I've tried so many creams, gels, natural remedies, soaps, diet changes, etc. Sadly, the dermatitis is only on my face, which drives me nuts. I went to a new doctor a couple of weeks ago during a breakout and told her all of the above. She mentioned this gel that I wasn't sure about because I don't really want to use these heavy-duty medicines on my face, but I told her I'd give it a try since I am at the end of my rope with this. In the two weeks or so that I've been using this, my redness and dry, flaky skin have disappeared. I noticed a big difference after the first day. My skin has not been clear like this in a decade, and I can't believe it. I'd like to incorporate other products with this so I can alternate, so that I don't build up too much of a tolerance, but this product has changed my life!"

"I have had atopic dermatitis since birth. During puberty, it was horrible! Skin was itchy and oozed constantly. Had it on my arms, hands, wrists, and face. NOTHING I ever used (and I've used just about everything) helped. As I've gotten older, it improved, but in the winter months, it would flare up. At a doctor's appointment for something completely different, I mentioned my severely dry and itchy arms and hands. The doctor prescribed triamcinolone ointment...WOW!! Arms and hands are soft and don't itch! Directions say to use 3 times daily, but I use it every other night after a hot bath. This was a miracle medication for me!"

Triamcinolone topical "I've had dermatitis for 16 years. It started as mild eczema on my hands, but within a year, it went from mild to wild! Woke up one morning and both my forearms were swollen, red, itching, burning, and leaking fluid when pushed against. 3 pitting edema. From that point on, over the next few years, it spread to my torso, legs, back, scalp, and face. Topical creams no longer worked, I was put on prednisone dose packs, but over time, prednisone was causing terrible side effects, i.e., moon face, hyperglycemia, depression, agitation, oral thrush, etc. I was then put on Kenalog 40 mg every 3-4 weeks, but then Kenalog created new side effects. Now I have to take 80 mg of Kenalog and methotrexate. Works, but my life is a wreck."

"I suffered with eczema on my face for years. I would put triamcinolone on my face nightly, and it would clear it up. To keep my eczema away, I would have to use this medicine nightly. It became a habit just to try to keep my eczema away. Triamcinolone has steroids in it, those steroids can break the skin barrier on your face. After using it for a long period of time, that is exactly what happened to me. I broke the skin barrier on my face and didn’t even realize it. My skin got so used to the triamcinolone that when I stopped using it, my face would break out in a rash around my mouth and nose. I now suffer from perioral dermatitis and periocular dermatitis. It is caused by using too many steroids. I have now stopped using triamcinolone completely to try and recover my skin barrier."

"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."
