For Psoriasis "I have had a few breakouts of guetal psoriasis, and this cream is great. It clears up in about 2-4 days (depending on severity) of applying this cream. I don't have any itching with my psoriasis, but I do tend to get "dry winter itch", and this greatly reduces the itching for that though."

For Aphthous Ulcer "I have had these ulcers since I was a child. The only thing I ever knew to use was a painkiller like orajel. I also used something called CankA which was simply liquid benzocaine which burns like hell When applied. Unfortunately neither of them last more than a few minutes. Then I learned about something called Lexanox, but I'm not sure if that was very effective. Ultimately I found this triamcinolone acetonide... Wow, am I ever impressed by this stuff. Every time I used it it cleared up the ulcer extremely quickly. I learned from doing extensive research on the subject because I was so pestered by these things and now my young son is as well, that is very important to begin the medication during what is called the "prodromal" stage, which means at the very outset of the ulcer's appearance. So now, every time I have one pop up, I hit it immediately with this triamcinolone and My experience with using it for probably 2 years or so is that it gets rid of it within just a day. Try it!"

For Eczema "My 4 year old has been using this cream for the past 3 years because she has eczema on her elbows only (seems weird) only during the winter time and it works like a charm!! Love this medicine, highly recommended to do the job!!"

Kenalog (triamcinolone) for Eczema "I've had eczema with blisters only on my hands for over 15 years and I'm now 74. Kenalog injections is only med that clears up the skin of peeling itching burning in days. My dermatologist tried various types of creams with little relief over the years. He indicated season chances plus stress is probably the main cause of my flare up every 6 to 8 months. He indicated there is no known cure. He indicated several of his patients get regular kenalog injections for similar conditions."

For Dermatitis "I had a horrible red rash on the inside of my elbow that itched and burned. A doctor prescribed betamethasone; but, that made it even worse; so, a dermatologist prescribed this. This didn't make it worse; but, it stayed the same. I had an old prescription for desonide gel that I put on; and that turned it around; but, it was too drying; so, I switched back to this. Then, it continued to heal. I attribute my healing to desonide; but, I think this helped once it got a kickstart from the desonide gel."

"I have using Rising Triamcinolone dental paste for four weeks now. For an open wound on the inside back side of my throat. I was told to spread inside and around the out side. I find is useless, it doesn't spread."

Rx Triamcinolone (triamcinolone) "Squamous cell carcinoma On finger. I have had numerous positive squamous cell carcinoma’s biopsies and spray treatments. Dr thinks I’ve been exposed to arsenic poisoning. I can’t imagine how! This ones on little finger and bleeds and is crusty. It’s been there for years. Reddish and whitish scaly looking. Have used this ointment now for 2 weeks day and night. No improvement yet. He said after the 2 weeks to cut back to once every 3 days. I just don’t know what to do. Rather have the spot cut out. See him again in 3 months."

Kenalog (triamcinolone) for Psoriasis "I have had psoriasis since I was 20, so its been 18 years. Recently, no ointments have been working for the psoriasis on my leg. It has been 3 days since my first Kenalog shots, and the plaque already look 35% better. It is still a little itchy, but no where near where it was before. I go back in 3 weeks to potentially have another set of injections if I need them. My skin was already hyperpigmented from other steroid ointments so I do not know if my skin will get darker yet or not."

For Eczema "I’ve had Eczema since birth. I’m 20 years old still suffer from it but have it under control throughout the year. I usually get flare ups once it starts to get really hot outside or really cold inside. Specifically my inner arm and upper lip and eyes. Anyways, this stuff works, literally takes couple hours to bring down the redness. But then again, I apply this soon as I see a spot flare up. I did however one night broke out in a whole eczema hive episode Lol, and lathered this topical up on my neck and entire face. By the time I woke up it was clear thank goodness."

Kenalog (triamcinolone) "I used enough to just cover the ulcerated area, once nightly. It usually cleared up within a week. I suffered no side effects and it was very easy to use. It's not a permanent condition, but I do get the occasional recurrence."

Kenalog (triamcinolone) "Dr. gave me a 60mg injection which helps reduce inflammation, which in turn helps reduce pain and stiffness. I will get this injection every 3 or 4 months. I have no side effects, and usually get 4 months of relief out of one injection."

Kenalog (triamcinolone) for Eczema "I use the injection form but have found that it is almost impossible to find since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Can someone tell me where to find or an alternate injection similar in the same class? Kenalog works well when it can be found."

Kenalog (triamcinolone) "I have a very severe allergy to pecan and hickory pollen which represents about 40% of trees in my area. My doctor gave me this because three antihistamines, a nasal spray, and two inhalers couldn't control my symptoms. Unfortunately it didn't do much except make me tired and moody. My allergies are just as bad and my asthma is about to land me in the hospital."

Kenalog (triamcinolone) "I find this injection to be highly effective. I suffer from joint pain and stiffness, which Kenalog helps with. The only drawback is the appetite enhancement and resulting weight gain. Maybe an appetite suppressant should be prescribed alongside it."

For Aphthous Ulcer "This drug is worth its weight in gold. I get a mouth ulcer every 6 months or so and I’ve learned to have a prescription of this medicine filled in my cabinet. I just apply a tiny, tiny amount to the sore with a Q-tip. By morning it’s feeling much better and usually gone in a couple of days. Tremendously effective!"

"The dermatologist has prescribed this several times for my Prurigo nodularis. I have told her is does not help. I personally don't like this medication. The only thing that's actually helps is Clindamycin topical. I feel sure if they gave me Clindamycin oral it would clear the condition completely."

For Psoriasis "Used this for two weeks for inverse psoriasis, worked like a charm. I only used it in the worst places because one possible side effect is raising your blood sugar & I can't afford that. Where I put it, the psoriasis disappeared, and right next to it the parts I hadn't covered stayed the same. For me, this stuff rocks."
