Shed some light on Triamcinolone Acetonide Cream. Is it good for acne?!


Question: Shed some light on Triamcinolone Acetonide Cream!. Is it good for acne!?
I went to the doctors recently!. It was a new doctor and I went to see him about my body acne!.(ewww) I asked him to refill my stuff then he said the stuff that I am on isnt for body acne!. So I guess my old doctor messed up!. But the thing is that this was the best thing that has worked for me so far!. The thing that I am on is Triamcinolone Acetonide cream USP!. I looked it up and its mainly for rashes and not for acne!. It says its anti-flamatory!. So would this mean that it helps my acne!? This stuff works fine but do you have anything else to get rid of back acne!. Perferably creams no pills!. ThanksWww@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
It doesnt' work for acne == it just reduces the inflammation (reddness)!.

I do hope you are not using it on your face - it can cause discoloration and thinning of the skin if you use it a lot!.

You need to be using a cleanser without fragrances or dyes, use a different sponge or washcloth each time - bacteria can live on wet sponges/washcloths and then when you use it, you put it back on your body!. Then apply a product that has benzoyl peroxide - which will help kill any bacteria on your skin and prevent future breakouts!.

The doctor can also prescribe other medication - like a retinoid - if the above doesn't work!.

good luck!.

PS - I would also recommend that you wear a tank or cami under your clothes - it helps pull away moisture and sweat from the body which can increase clogged pores!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It is a cortico-steriod, for itches, rashes, and so on!. won't make a dent in the acne!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
