Triamcinolone Acetonide Cream to treat eczema
and psoriasis
Topical steroids have revolutionized the practice of dermatology since
they were introduced in the late 1950s. Topical steroids are prescription
medicines. Topical steroids are creams, ointments and lotions which
contain steroid drugs. Topical steroids work by reducing inflammation
in the skin. Topical steroids are effective for many inflammatory skin
conditions, but they can have significant side effects. Creams and ointments
should be applied in a thin layer and massaged into the affected area
one to four times a day. For most skin conditions, this regimen should
be continued until the rash resolves. Some chronic skin conditions that
wax and wane such as psoriasis or eczema benefit from intermittent application
of a topical steroid to prevent recurrences. The spacing of this intermittent
application should be discussed with a health-care provider since repeated
use of topical steroids can cause side effects.
