Brief Answer:
Symptoms related to psoriasis, Triamcinolone can be an effective treatment.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As I see through your query, your symptoms seem to be related to psoriasis.

A photo would be more helpful to precisely confirm the diagnosis and suggest proper treatment. You can upload images/reports with the help of the 'Upload' feature available on the right side of your page.

Corticosteroid cream can only relieve psoriasis symptoms, but can not treat the medical condition.

Triamcinolone is another medication of the corticosteroid class of drugs.
It may relieve the symptoms of psoriasis.

I would also recommend an oral medication intake.
Oral medication drugs that can be used in this case are Methotrexate and Cyclosporine. These are prescribed medications ,so you should consult your doctor about these treatments.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Brief Answer:
These medications are used in many diagnosis due to the anti-inflammatory effect

Detailed Answer:
Hi again dear,

If you are referring to Methotrexate and Cyclosporine, I would like to explain that these medications are commonly used to treat psoriasis.

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease with dermatological symptoms.

These medications help to treat the inflammation as immunosuppressants. They can be used also in treating different forms of cancer due to anti-inflammatory properties.
Actually, they can be used in different diagnosis due to these properties.

These are widely prescribed medications, given only in prolonged symptoms of psoriasis.

We give our suggestions for treatment based on specific protocols which are systematically updated by the latest studies.

Wish you a good health,
Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi
