Too potent for face: Presciption topical steroids such as triamcinoloe are very potent, which is why they are used for intense allergic rashes on the body (ie poison oak). However, they are much too strong for the sensitive skin of the face and lip. They can cause temporary thinning of facial skin cells, and can be more easily absorbed into your bloodstream from your lip. Best to use 0.5% OTC Hydrocortisone cream.
