I had a small patch of extremely dry, itchy, flaky skin that developed on my wrist after swimming in the ocean. I put hydorcoridisone cream on it occassionally. After 2 months it was still there. This medicine cleared it up in about two weeks. My doctor also told me to use it on my nuckles in the winter, because the get really dry, crack, and itch even if I use lotion. It has worked wonders there too!!! Published: November 29, 2007 ::

After seeing 7 or 8 different clinic doctors over a period of FOUR MONTHS,(they did biopsy's, but still scratched their heads) finally got in to a dermatologist via referral. Was given this ointment, have only been using it for a week now, so it may work to get rid of the "rash" eventually, but for now it has only aided in reducing the swelling and smooth out the rough dry skin. I am somewhat concerned about using it as often as told, since my 2 inch rash (in the beginning) now covers 90% of my body! So, I'm hoping that within the next couple of weeks, it will continue to help, and get rid of this most irritating (ITCHY) RASH! Published: January 30, 2008 ::

Comment from: Rowellcat79, 25-34 Female on Treatment for 1-6 months (Patient)

I was prescribed this cream b/c I had a horribly itchy rash on my legs, that would not go away. After no cause could be found, ti was determined that it was possibly a minor staph infection. This medication worked very, very well for me. Not only did it relieve the itching, but within days began to clear the condition. However, it did not work immediately, as I had hoped, so patience was needed. Further, I was told that this medicine has a tendency to 'thin' ther skin and cause spider veins, so the cream should ONLY be placed on the area that is bothersome, even if it means applying to each little bump. I was very happy with the effectiveness of this medicine. Published: May 09, 2008 ::

Medication works while being used; condition improves/clears; use is stopped. Condition comes roaring back within days. Drug doesn't seem to completely eradicate condition. Published: March 15, 2008 ::

Comment from: Rocky, 75 or over Male on Treatment for 2-5 years (Patient)

I have Stasis Dermatisis, I have been using this off and on for three years. As far as stopping the itch, it doesnt. Maybe i have to use if more often daily. I only use it twice a day, and most times once a day or not at all. You have no idea how uncomfortable the itching is. In the begginning i was taking predisone and that did a job on my skin, It did not stop the itch. It made my skin thin, so when i scratched i bled. I take coumadin also. I have been to many dermotalogists seven to be exact all over the state of Conn. No help there. Published: September 22, 2007 ::

Comment from: watsonfowlkes, 45-54 Female on Treatment for 1-6 months (Patient)

This medication has caused the effected area on the outer palms of my hands to become scaly and encrusted to a point where I can remove dead skin resembling fish scales from the area. Once I remove the dead skin, the redness, itching, and pus filled boils return within a matter of minutes. I have been using this Triamcinolone 0.1% topical cream for the past two months without any significant results. Published: April 11, 2008 ::

Comment from: mom, 25-34 Female on Treatment for 6 months - 1 year (Caregiver)

My 3 year old has a food allergy. This medicine is our wonder drug if he accidentally has it. Clears it up quickly. We have seen none of the side effects. Also, it is not a preferred drug for insurance, so the cost is reasonable. For a child, I do not use for the long term. 3 days, and it usually clears up the rash/inflammation.
