Has anyone else experienced severe side effects from Triamcinolone 0.1% Ointment 454gm?

#skincare #eczema #medication #sideeffects

I've been using Triamcinolone 0.1% Ointment for my eczema, and while it's helped with the itching and redness, I've started noticing some changes in my skin that worry me. I've read about possible side effects, but I'd love to hear from others who have used this ointment. Have any of you experienced severe side effects like skin thinning, changes in skin color, or even signs of high blood sugar? How did you handle it? I'm particularly concerned about the urgent side effects listed. Did your doctor warn you about these before prescribing? What should I be looking out for? Any insights or experiences shared would be greatly appreciated.

I had a friend who got really sick from this stuff. She ended up in the hospital with high blood sugar. Scary stuff.

Be careful with the amount you use. I overdid it once and ended up with thinning skin. It was scary.

I switched to a natural remedy after reading about all the side effects. Feels better knowing I'm not putting all that stuff on my skin.

I used it for my eczema and it worked great! But I noticed my skin getting a bit thin after a while. Switched to something else and now I'm OK

I've been using Triamcinolone for a while now, and I haven't had any major issues. Just some mild itching at the application site, but nothing too bad.

I had a rash and itching that got worse before it got better. But overall, it's helped with my psoriasis big time.
