Aristocort Cream, containing the active ingredient Triamcinolone Acetonide, is a topical steroid used to treat a variety of skin conditions. This medicated cream helps reduce inflammation, redness, and swelling associated with skin disorders such as eczema, dermatitis, allergies, and rash.

Why Choose Aristocort Cream (Triamcinolone Acetonide)?

  • Reduces Inflammation: Effectively diminishes inflammation and redness, providing relief from itching and pain.
  • Versatile Treatment: Suitable for a wide range of skin issues, including eczema, psoriasis, and allergic reactions.
  • Easy to Apply: Comes in a smooth cream form that spreads easily over the skin without leaving a heavy residue.

How to Use Aristocort Cream (Triamcinolone Acetonide)?

  • Clean and Dry: Before applying the cream, clean and dry the affected area thoroughly. This helps in the absorption of the medication.
  • Apply a Thin Layer: Use a small amount of the cream to cover the affected area with a thin layer. It’s important to follow your healthcare provider’s instructions regarding the amount to apply.
  • Gentle Application: Gently rub the cream into the skin until it disappears. Avoid vigorous rubbing, as this can irritate the skin.
  • Wash Hands: After applying the cream, wash your hands unless the treatment is for your hands. This prevents the spread of medication to other parts of the body or to others.
  • Frequency of Application: Typically, the cream is applied two to three times daily, but follow your doctor’s specific instructions. Overuse can increase the risk of side effects.
  • Avoid Occlusive Dressings: Unless directed by a healthcare provider, do not use tight bandages or coverings over the area where the cream has been applied.
