Triamcinolone review by 33 year old female patient

  Rating
Overall rating:  
Effectiveness:   Considerably Effective
Side effects:   No Side Effects
  
Treatment Info
Condition / reason:   skin exema
Dosage & duration:   0.1% application (dosage frequency: 3 times daily) for the period of 1 month
Other conditions:   none
Other drugs taken:   none
  
Reported Results
Benefits:   My therapist prescribe this cream, as I develpe dark sport on my skin on the back from exema. The sport were itchy so I couldn't sleep well and they turned dark due to post-inflammatory hyper pigmentation. I am still using the cream but it effectively eliminated any itching and dark sport reduce in size and became lighter. In fact, my therapist later prescribed a more potent cream, betamethasone dipropionate 0.05%, but I felt that the first one was more effective in my case.
Side effects:   none
Comments:   I used 0.1% cream three times daily on clean skin for one month
