How fast does fougera triamcinolone aetonide usp, .1% work for relieving moderately inflamed/dry skin on the arms, forming as a result of isotretnoin?

72 hours: Usually need to give a treatment regimen a 72 hour window to judge effectiveness. Though it also depends on the number of days one has been on isotretinoin, and continued treatment. Need to discuss with the doctor that prescribed the isotretinoin. Varying concentrations of steroid cremes are available, and can be adjusted to the situation.

Greetings! I have psoriasis. I have a patch of psoriasis on my arm slightly less than the size of a quarter. For at least two weeks maybe three weeks there has been a scab over the spot. It will bleed sometimes. It is not like the typical psoriasis of flakey skin. I have applied neosporin ointment and triamcinolone cream. What is the issue? Treatment?
