A member asked:

Will triamcinolone help with facial discoloration?

Dr. Arlo Miller answered

Specializes in Dermatology

Minimally: Steroids can help on a short term basis to reduce redness, but long term will probably make things worse. Steroids help a tiny bit with brownness, but not a whole lot. In general, triamcinolone would not be a good treatment for facial discoloration.
