A member asked:

Is it safe to use triamcinolone 0.1% everyday for the rest of my life? (atopic dermatitis)

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. John Chiu answered

Depends: If it is used on a small area, it is likely ok except for the face. If it is applied to a wide area of the body regularly, then it will cause side effects like taking a moderate dose of cortisone by mouth. Since the primary problem is water loss from the skin, be sure to apply a moisturizer like CeRave on the whole body
