#Does triamcinolone acetonide cream lighten skin skin#

So I started to do some research and discovered that Triamcinolone acetonide is way too strong for the face, especially the delicate skin under the eyes. I used it for 3 days, and noticed that the rash had spread to my neck and ears. Basically, I got a rash under my eye and went to my GP, they said it was probably eczema and told me to use Triamcinolone acetonide. I just got diagnosed with eczema a week ago.

If a favorable response does not occur promptly, the corticosteroid should be discontinued until the infection has been adequately controlled. In the presence of dermatological infections, the use of an appropriate antifungal or antibacterial agent should be instituted. If irritation develops, topical corticosteroids should be discontinued and appropriate therapy instituted. Children may absorb proportionally larger amounts of topical corticosteroids and thus be more susceptible to systemic toxicity (See PRECAUTIONS-Pediatric Use). Infrequently, signs and symptoms of steroid withdrawal may occur, requiring supplemental systemic corticosteroids. Recovery of HPA axis function is generally prompt and complete upon discontinuation of the drug. If HPA axis suppression is noted, an attempt should be made to withdraw the drug, to reduce the frequency of application, or to substitute a less potent steroid.

Therefore, patients receiving a large dose of a potent topical steroid applied to a large surface area or under an occlusive dressing should be evaluated periodically for evidence of HPA axis suppression by using the urinary free cortisol and ACTH stimulation tests. Conditions which augment systemic absorption include the application of the more potent steroids, use over large surface areas, prolonged use, and the addition of occlusive dressings. Systemic absorption of topical corticosteroids has produced reversible hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis suppression, manifestations of Cushing's syndrome, hyperglycemia, and glucosuria in some patients. Some of the topical corticosteroids and their metabolites are also excreted into the bile. Corticosteriods are metabolized primarily in the liver and are then excreted by the kidneys. Corticosteroids are bound to plasma proteins in varying degrees. (See DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION) Once absorbed through the skin, topical corticosteroids are handled through pharmacokinetic pathways similar to systemically administered corticosteroids. Thus, occlusive dressings may be a valuable therapeutic adjunct for treatment of resistant dermatoses. Occlusive dressings substantially increase the percutaneous absorption of topical corticosteroids. Inflammation and/or other disease processes in the skin increase percutaneous absorption. Topical corticosteroids can be absorbed from normal intact skin.

Pharmacokinetics The extent of percutaneous absorption of topical corticosteroids is determined by many factors including the vehicle, the integrity of the epidermal barrier, and the use of occlusive dressings. There is some evidence to suggest that a recognizable correlation exists between vasoconstrictor potency and therapeutic efficacy in man. Various laboratory methods, including vasoconstrictor assays, are used to compare and predict potencies and/or clinical efficacies of the topical corticosteroids. The mechanism of anti-inflammatory activity of the topical corticosteroids is unclear.

Topical corticosteroids share anti-inflammatory, antipruritic and vasoconstrictive actions.
