Kenalog (triamcinolone) for Psoriasis "I have been getting Kenalog injections for over 30 years and it has been amazing. It now helps with psoriatic arthritis but I do suffer some of the side affects like a mild cough, severe indigestion (apple cider vinegar keeps it in check) and swelling of the ankles. I am thankful this worked for me even with the side affects having had severe outbreaks since I was 10 up in my 30’s until I found my dermatologist."

For Psoriasis "I have recently been diagnosed with psoriasis and the first thing my doctor did was to prescribe this medication. It worked quickly and the horribly painful scaling I had behind my ears is completely gone."

For Atopic Dermatitis "I’ve had an annoying extremely itchy rash on my ankle. Wearing boots or high socks triggered a massive itch all the time. Even while sleeping, if I had my ankle on the sheet, I’d wake up severely itchy. I tried everything over the counter and a few prescribed products. My doctor prescribed me the cream and the itching went away in an instant! After four years of agony, it finally stopped itching! The rash itself hasn’t gone away yet, but at least it isn’t looking gnarly and gross from extensive itching anymore! This stuff is amazing!!!"

For Atopic Dermatitis "So I've had dermatitis for the last 10 years or so and nothing has helped at all. I've tried so many creams, gels, natural remedies, soaps, diet change, etc.... Sadly the dermatitis is only on my face which drives me nuts. I went to a new doctor a couple of weeks ago during a breakout and told her all of the above. She mentioned this gel that I wasn't sure about because I don't really want to use these heavy duty medicines on my face, but I told her I'd give it a try since I am at the end of my rope with this. In the two weeks or so that I've been using this, my redness and dry flaky skin has disappeared. I noticed a big difference after the first day. My skin has not been clear like this in a decade and I can't believe it. I'd like to incorporate other products with this so I can alternate, so that I don't build up too much of a tolerance, but this product has changed my life!"

Rx Triamcinolone (triamcinolone) for Atopic Dermatitis "I had pain in the canals of my ears which prevented me from wearing hearing aids. The audiologist provided me with medication that was supposed to prevent this condition. It didn't help at all. When I visited my doctor at the VA Clinic she asked me if I was wearing my hearing aids. I told her of my problem with ear pain and she prescribed Triamcinolone Acetonide 0.1% with the comment, " See if this helps you." After applying it to my ear canal there was an immediate soothing effect and by the next day the pain was gone. The pain returns in about a month but disappears again with another application. It does not cure the problem, but does give almost immediate and long lasting pain relief."

For Eczema "I started using this medication for a week on my lifelong skin dermatitis, and it made my skin angry, and made it way worse. My skin began blistering and getting swollen and red. They put me on an antibiotic and a different cream. I’ll be seeing a dermatologist tomorrow to see if we can fix this."

For Dermatitis "I started getting this contact dermatitis issues, back in summer of last year. i had suffered these flakely, itchy red rashes on my eye lids, started getting utacharia, it has appeared on both sides of the forehead, the neck, back of the kness, back of the elbows and between my thighs. and I mistakingly went to a doc, and i was prescribed triamcilione cream, and i applied it once a day, because of how strong the cream was, i used my fingers as the tissue just absorbs it. it went away within a few days, but the dermatitis(result of hot showers, dust mites, cold dry air) had allowed it to come back in a matter of days. at the same time i was trying various otc antihistimines, in which diphenhydramine worked the best but made me so sleepy"

For Dermatitis "For over 12 years I suffered from dermatitis on my backside (which was severe enough to be mistaken as a "surgical Scar" by one doctor and his staff). One day my "Pain Management" doctor observed it and prescribed "Triamcinolone Cream". One single application and the rest is HISTORY. No more itch, burn or sting. Thank You Doctor and Thank You TRIAMCINOLONE."

For Atopic Dermatitis "The triamcinolone ointment was prescribed because I had be diagnosed with contact dermatitis on my foot and leg. They believe it was caused by the cast I was wearing because I broke by left ankle. I'm also a diabetic and insulin dependent for 32 years. The ointment has been very helpful for my skin condition. I have experienced some side effects such as slight burning and itching sensations, but they went away after the 3rd or 4th day of use. My skin is starting to dry out and the dead dry skin is starting to fall off. The dermatitis also spread to my hands, thighs, forearms and buttocks. I have been applying the ointment to all affected areas. It seems to be helping. I would recommend this ointment for contact dermatitis treatment."

For Atopic Dermatitis "I have had atopic dermatitis since birth. During puberty it was horrible! Skin was itchy and oozed constantly. Had it on my arms, hands, wrists, and face. NOTHING I ever used (and I've used just about everything) helped. As I've gotten older it improved but in the winter months it would flare up. At a doctor's appointment for something completely different I mentioned my severely dry and itchy arms and hands. Doctor prescribed Triamcinolone ointment...WOW!!!!!! Arms and hands are soft and don't itch! Directions say to use 3 times daily but I use it every other night after a hot bath. This was a miracle medication for me!"

Kenalog in Orabase (triamcinolone) for Aphthous Ulcer "This works incredibly well on the horrible mouth ulcers I have suffered on and off with since childhood. Not using a toothpaste with SLS has greatly diminished their frequency. But when I do get them now, I apply a little paste and they’re usually within a day or two, rather than a week or two. It’s a miracle cure!!!"

Kenalog (triamcinolone) "I used to get a shot of this for my psoriasis, and it did clear up everything in less than a week, However I found that the lesions returned within a few months (3). I was advised to not get the kenalog shots more than twice a year because I have a slightly higher enzyme count in my liver."

For Eczema "I use the triamcinolone ointment not the cream. The cream seemed to me me the skin worse but, the ointment cleared it right up in about a week. You really do need to apply 2 to 3 times a day and keep the area moisturizer."

For Psoriasis "Kenalog is a fantastic cream. I couldn't do without it. I also will get psoriasis inside my nose and I use Cortaid spray for 2-3 days to make it go away. I saw that Cortaid has triamcinolone in it and tried it and it worked. There is also an over-the-counter body lotion that is great...Curel Itch Defense works basically as well as Kenalog, except in extreme cases, so I save money on the Rx."

For Psoriasis "This product is great with controlling my psoriasis, but I became pregnant twice last year and miscarried both times. The only thing I did exactly the same was use this cream. It isn't 100% positive that the cream is the cause but it's the only common denominator. I'm currently pregnant and have made it 6 weeks longer than the last 2 and am not using the cream! Using vitamin E oil instead of the cream and it's working out for me so far.."

For Dermatitis "I've had 2 really bad bouts of Poison (ivy, oak, sumac) in the past 2 months. One dermatologist prescribed Triamcinolone Acetonide Ointment (0.1%) for the first reaction and an urgent care physician prescribed Triamcinolone Acetonide Create (0.1%) for the second reaction and neither provided an ounce of relief. I haven't gotten more than a couple of hours of sleep in days due to incessant itching and burning. The dermatologist prescribed a 20mg day prednisone taper which took well into the second week to start showing signs of improvement. The Urgent Care physician gave me a steroid shot on site and a 6-day prednisone taper. within an hour or so of shot, I began to feel slight relief from itching but came back on arms by nightfall. I'm ready for amputation to get away from itch."

For Dermatitis "I've suffered with flare-ups of dermititis all my life and this is the best prescription strength cream that I've ever used. Within a few days the irritated areas have disappeared. I love it. Sure beats all those oatmeal baths I took as a kid."

For Atopic Dermatitis "I suffered with eczema on my face for years. I would put triamcinolone on my face nightly and it would clear it up. To keep my eczema away I would have to use this medicine nightly. It became a habit just to try to keep my eczema away. Triamcinolone has steroids in it, those steroids can break the skin barrier on your face. After using it for a long period of time that is exactly what happened to me. I broke the skin barrier on my face and didn’t even realize it. My skin got so used to the triamcinolone that when I stopped using it, my face would break out in a rash around my mouth and nose. I now suffer from perioral dermatitis and periocular dermatitis. It is caused by using too many steroids. I have now stopped using triamcinolone completely to try and recover my skin barrier."

For Dermatitis "Triamcinolone in the Ointment formation is a MIRACLE ! EVERY winter, beginning of the season I get a couple patches of dermatitis. Always seems to be around my nose. Tried Hydrocortisone, and so many others...NOTHING...Kenolog Ointment(Generic) literally knocked it out in 2 days! EVERY time. My fiance started getting it as well when he saw the results ! I only use very little because it is on my face. But it is Incredible !"

Kenalog (triamcinolone) for Eczema "I received no more than 3 Kenalog 10 injections in 2 years to help with eczema flare ups. 2 years after my last injection, my tissue and muscle showed wasting at the injection site. Since this site was my glute it was incredibly painful to sit and contributed to other pains and aches due to overcompensation. I had to receive Platelet Rich Plasma treatment to rejuvenate tissue and muscle growth in the area. Proceed with caution."

Kenalog (triamcinolone) "I too had a injection of Kenalog 10 in my face. After the first 3 weeks I noticed a dime size dent on my cheek. Called the doctor who did the injection, came back to the office. But before that, I researched the internet and found a link where 4 people had a kenalog injection got saline injected in the same spot the kenalog was and could possibly help flush out or decrease the efrects of kenalog working its full term of 6 weeks. I showed the doctor this link on this study and he agreed maybe saline which acts like water can help. This study showed 4 people went every week for 8 weeks & had them same amount of saline injected in the area. All 4 people had great results. "

For Dermatitis "Red, itching rash on inside of right arm. 1%prescribed by dematologist to be used twice a day. Have used it for 21 days and have not been given any relief. Will see doctor again in two day for a solution as this has not helped other than giving some immediate itching relief for a brief time."

Kenalog (triamcinolone) for Psoriasis "I have suffered with severe psoriasis since 1995. Creams and ointments are ineffective and very impractical as I tend to have flares involving most of my body, feet and hands being the worst. I’ve had many injections of Kenalog over the years and it is highly effective. I generally get rebound about 4 to 5 weeks after the injection and dampen that with hydroxyzine. Last year after my first Covid booster I started a severe cycle of flaring. Most dermatologists will not give Kenalog any more, and as a result I’ve spiraled into a very severe case. I had to look up my old dermatologist 600 miles away and drive there for an injection. As I expected I started to get relief from itching and clearing of my symptoms within 6 hours. It’s going to take 2 more injections to get 100% clear. I’m my case Kenalog is amazing, it’s cheap and highly effective. I’ve tried Skyrizi (expensive) and light treatment as well and nothing works like Kenalog"
