Question 1

Can i use triamcinolone acetonide cream during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Topical use of triamcinolone is perfectly fine.

Question 2

Can i use triamcinolone acetonide cream for acne?

Accepted Answer

It is not advisable to use triamcinolone (a steroid cream) on the face.  Steroids are designed to be used as temporary anti-inflammatory agents on rashes.  They work by suppressing the immune system. Over a period of time, the immune system adjusts and needs stronger steroids to obtain the same result. In addition, they destroy collagen in the skin which ages skin and they can cause steroid acne.

Question 3

Can one use triamcinolone acetonide cream on a ringworm?

Accepted Answer

Triamcinolone=steroid is sometime combined with antifungal cream to help with severe itching/irritation (inflammation). Steroid itself does not treat the ringworm. Lamisil, lotrimin, or tinactin (tolnaftate) are available otc and are often adequate to treat commom skin fungal/ringworm infections on skin (not beard/scalp areas). If not better in about 2 wks, consult doc for proper diagnosis/treatment. Good luck.

Question 4

Can i use triamcinolone acetonide cream on athletes foot?

Accepted Answer

Only antifungals will kill fungal infections. Purchase otc terbinafine, lotrimin or any topical antifungal and apply as directed. You must also purchase a antifungal spray powder such as micatin or tinactin (tolnaftate) and spray your shoes you wear once a week to kill the fungal spores in your shoes to prevent reoccurrence. Triamcinolone is a topical steroid and will not kill the fungal infection.

Question 6

I have a rash on my face. my dr gave me some antibiotic pills that i could only take for 3 mths. thought it was contact dermatitis. i took them. i still have the rash. i use triamcinolone acetonide cream 0.1%. it goes away but comes back after use.

Accepted Answer

Consult a dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment. In the meantime have you eliminated cosmetics, perfumes, hair spray? Antibiotics are prescribed for types of acne.

Question 7

I have bumps on my vagina and was wondering if i could use triamcinolone acetonide cream on them they do burn and sting sometimes?

Accepted Answer

It depends on what kind of bumps they are. Triamcinolone could make them worse rather than better. It would be best to be seen by your PCP or GYN to be sure what kind of bumps they are and treat them appropriately. Hope this helps.

A general rule you can follow is as follows. Only the medicines that enter your blood at levels they reach the fetus can affect them. 
The lotions/creams/ointments like those mentioned do not and are safe through pregnancy.
