Can triamcinolone cream be used in place of desonide cream for rosacea? can not get into the dr. for a week and my desonide cream is all. a friend also has rosacea and uses triamcinolone cream.

That : That is not a standard treatment for rosacea and is typically felt to be too strong for the face. Read about rosacea and treatment options at the link below. I hope that helps!

Steroid cream: While mild topical corticosteroids are sometimes used to treat rosacea for short periods of time, caution should be used since thinning of the skin or rosacea flares are possible.
