Itchy, discolored, flaky, dry rash started during puberty, and got progressively worse. Started on neck thighs, moved to trunk, buttocks, arms, back, and everywhere except my face. Tens of doctors, tests, possible diagnoses, and ineffective treatments. I've tried it all. It's affected my confidence, my clothes (never shorts or t-shirts outside), vacations, etc. I thought this was just my skin for ...

I haven't used this product but want to know if it is safe to use on shingles? I have it on the right side of back and under arm at waist level. The prescription recommended is too expensive I need something affordable

I was, and continue to, experience itchiness and sometime a rash in my upper chest (above nipple-line), back and shoulders. The dermatologist I saw recommended Triamcinolone cream be applied daily for 2 weeks followed by CeraVe cream for 2 weeks. The Triamcinolone indeed caused the itchiness to recede however within a few days the itchiness did return with the discontinued use. A second round of application was recommended with the very same results. The Triamcinolone was only able to put the problem in check for a limited time. Essentially, the product was able to have an effect on the symptom but did not address the actual cause of the problem. In a follow-up visit the dermatologist recommended another topical ointment reminiscent of petroleum jelly only much thicker, I do not remember the name of the drug, which had no effect on the symptom or cause. When I suggested the possibility of something dietary or environmental, even though nothing had changed in my diet or environment, the dermatologist quickly suggested seeing an allergist for further evaluation into the possible causation. In short, and in my experience, the very expensive Triamcinolone was scantly better than the anti-itch products available over the counter.Read More Read Less

I suddenly developed eczema at age 61. Nothing my doctor has given me has help from harsh prescription shampoo to different oils, creams and this medication. I cannot use any hair products of any kind except shampoo. I also get breakout on my upper body but my scalp is the worst.

Adult onset dermatitis. Had it for years but never saw a dermatologist. Applied and itching, rash, and bumps were gone in two days. Only use 1x daily, every 4-5 days now rather than two weeks on, one week off, as DR suggested. Eczema is still there but minimal now

I’ve been using this cream for as long as I can remember which is about 5. Any time I have a flare up I use this cream and then put in lotion I usually have to use it for 3 days for the itching to completely go away depending how bad the flare up is or change of weather. It says use it for 14 days but I’ve never used it that long but once I shower then apply the cream within an hour it dosent itch as bad.

Doctors are not quite sure what my rash is from, but it's probably dermatitis. This cream did not work at all for me.

Was Rx'ed the 0.1% topical ointment for a rash of unknown origin/type. Used it liberally on arms & legs for about 6 days before I started to feel anxious & moody, so I stopped for 2 days. My ear canals were also crusty & burning. Felt better so I resumed using it for 1 more day & the symptoms got worse again so discontinued permanently. That was about a month ago. Ever since, I've had bizarre side effects including: worsening ear infection (dx'ed "Swimmer's Ear" by doctor), dry itchy scalp + hair loss, white peach fuzz growth on my face(!), severe bloating, stretch marks that weren't there before & increasingly dry skin around my nose/mouth. And ZERO improvement in the original rash. I know meds affect people differently but I feel sorry for anyone taking this stuff internally. Read More Read Less

I love this stuff. It starts working right away providing immediate itch relief and reduced soreness and ultimately clears up any flare up within a few days.

I have had uncontrollable itching since I got my Covid booster. My doctor started me on this since Benadryl, Benadryl cream, Benadryl spray & hydrocortisone did not relieve the itching. This cream almost instantly took the itching away. It did not cure the itchy rash that I have but has been a god sin to relieve the itching.

Developed a severe reaction to poison ivy on my forearms. It developed into large yellow blisters, swelling, inflammation, and itching. I used ice packs for relief. The doctor prescribed the Triamcinolone Acetonide 0.1% cream applied twice daily. After three days my condition improved immensely. The blisters receded and five days later the yellowish-red skin color was returning to normal. This treatment was very effective for me.

I had an ulcer on my leg and the skin around it would itch terrible, causing me to reopen the wound. The doctor prescribed Santyl for the ulcer and the Triamcinolone Acetonide cream for the skin around it. Although I had to be extremely careful (one on only good skin, the other only on the sore) together they cleared both problems. Thank heavens now I can walk again.

After a few months of annoying chapping on my lips, I was prescribed this by a dermatologist, to be applied nightly and washed off the next morning. After about 4 days, my lips started turning blue. I discontinued using it. However, over the next few days my lips turned black and the skin-- ALL the skin-- began peeling away, until I was left with barely one layer on red/black lips that seeped blood constantly. They were so sensitive I could not eat, and even drinking through a straw was painful. I returned to the dermatologist who explained this was reaction not unusual and that I'd need to keep using it until my skin was "adjusted" to it. I, of course, declined. He did prescribe a steroidally based remedy which I applied several times daily so my lips returned to normal after another week. I regard this as a dangerous medication, however helpful it may be, that requires great care in usage. I recommend anyone, when starting out using it, to apply it sparingly for a few hours a day at first before any greater application, regardless of a doctor's usage recommendation.Read More Read Less

I have been battling a yeast infection for almost 10 years. I used this once a day and the end of the second day the infection was completely gone. A month later and it is still gone. Amazing.
