A member asked:
Can you use triamcinoione acetonide to for poison ivy oak and poison sumac?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes, see below: It comes in a few strengths which is usually in percentage format. You would want to be cautious using the stronger one (.1) in certain locations. In addition you would not want to use them for an extended period because of the side effects such as thinning skin.
