A member asked:
Can triamcinolone cream cause adrenal crisis if i stop using suddenly? i use it on & off for my eczema. sometimes for long periods.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Topical steroids are not absorbed enough, even with long term use, to cause adrenal suppression. Thus, no risk of adrenal crisis with their discontinuation. Make sure you are doing everything possible medication free (moisturizers/emollients/sunscreen) though to try and decrease use of the topical steroids for your eczema.
