Question 1

i was prescribed triamcinolone 0.1% cream for my face rash i noticed that i no longer have pimples since i started using the cream is that normal?

Accepted Answer

The cream that was: prescribed for you is a steroid cream. This isn't one of the typical acne treatments, so it may be coincidence, but it also may either be that it helped with the inflammatory part of your acne, or it may be that your "pimples" were not acne, but were a contact or seborrheic dermatitis.

Question 2

i was prescribed triamcinolone acetonide cream for seborrheic dermatitis around my nose. i recently got some pimples. will they go away? how long?

Accepted Answer

TRIAMCINOLONE PIMPLE: IF THE PIMPLES ARE AROUND YOUR NOSE, IT MIGHT VERY WELL BE A RESULT OF THE CREAM. 
THEY SURE WILL GO AWAY IF YOU STOP USING THE CREAM BUT ASK YOUR DOCTOR IF YOU CAN CHANGE THE CREAM TO ANOTHER VEHICLE, LIKE A LOTION, PERHAPS . . .
BEST LUCK.

Question 3

i shave before lazor hair removal/get pimples on butt, shoulders , stomach.  which prescription creams?  salictylic acid ok, kenalog (triamcinolone) shots? baby powder?

Accepted Answer

Folliculitis tx: It's helpful if shaving is done 3-4 days before laser hair removal.  If pustules appear, acne medications may be helpful, such as a benzoyl peroxide wash.  There should not be a lot of scrubbing as it may irritate hair follicles further.  All benzoyl peroxide must be washed off the skin completely.  There are also acne lotions that your doctor can prescribe to help.

Question 4

what types of cream can help clear up back acne?

Accepted Answer

Serious Rx: You can't do it on your own, and home remedies and topical benzoyl peroxide probably won't touch it. Your physician can probably clear you in about two weeks with a systemic antibiotic that's right for you, perhaps tetracycline 500 2x/day. If this fails and you're offered isotretinoin, accept it.

Question 5

does benzoyl peroxide cream work for back acne?

Accepted Answer

Sort-of: Acne on the back usually require an antibiotic in addition to benzoyl peroxide or whatever non-antibiotic you prefer. Topical Clindamycin may help but many folks with acne on the back, and most men with bad acne on the back, will spend a few years on a systemic antibiotic that's right for them.

Question 6

i confused my triamcinolone cream usp 0.1% for my acne cream. i put quite a bit on my face i washed my face 15mins later. will it badly effect my face?

Accepted Answer

No.: Triamcinolone 0.1% cream is a moderate strength steroid cream and if used on the face only one time is nothing to worry about especially since you washed off any residual.  Put those two creams in different locations to avid a repeat.

Question 7

can i use triamcinolone acetonide cream for acne?

Accepted Answer

No.: 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 8

nystatin and triamcinolone acetonide cream be used to treat acne?

Accepted Answer

No: They are not effective.

Question 9

what is the best skin care routine to clear the skin from acne and pimples and is there any lotions or creams you recommend,best regards .

Accepted Answer

Derm: Wash face w gentle cleanser 2x/day &amp; use oil free products. No oily hair. Try not to pop pimples. Avoid touching face (cradling chin in hands). Shower after strenuous exercise. Consider OTC products (salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide).  Retinoids/ comedone extractor can be helpful for black heads. If &gt; mild acne see dermatology.

Question 10

i m getting red small pimples n my face ..which turn white in few dayzdayz but re not too bigbig in sizes ..suggest a good acne cream for fast action?

Accepted Answer

Benzoyl peroxide: Benzoyl peroxide is the ingredient to treat acne that is in products you can buy over the counter. Find a cream at the pharmacy with benzoyl peroxide and us it as directed. There are also topical antibiotic creams that may help but those usually require a prescription. Good luck to you.
