What is Aristocort Cream (Topical Triamcinolone)?
Topical triamcinolone is primarily used to relieve inflammation (redness and swelling) and itching on the skin. It may also be prescribed for other conditions as recommended by your healthcare provider.
How Does Topical Triamcinolone Work?
This medication works by blocking certain substances in the body that cause inflammation and itching, helping to reduce these symptoms on the skin.

Serious Side Effects
Local Reactions:
Allergic Reactions: Seek help immediately if you experience:
Trouble breathing or swallowing, fast heartbeat
Swelling of the face, lips, or throat, dizziness
Skin hives, nausea, or vomiting
Severe Skin Reactions: Stop use and contact your provider if you notice:
Severe irritation, redness, swelling, sores, or infection
Systemic Reactions:
Cushing’s Syndrome (from high cortisol): Stop use and call your provider if you have:
Round, red face, upper body weight gain, back fat
Thin, easily bruised skin, fatigue, high blood pressure
Adrenal Issues: Stop use if you have:
Weakness, nausea, low blood pressure (which may cause dizziness), especially during stress
Slow Growth (in children): Ask the provider if concerned about your child’s growth.
High Blood Sugar: May cause high blood sugar. Consult your provider for management.
Systemic reactions are unlikely to occur when using topical forms of triamcinolone, as long as it is applied to clean, dry, intact skin and not covered with an occlusive dressing. Damaged skin may be more likely to provide access to the bloostream which can make systemic side effects more likely.
Dosage Information
Follow Instructions: Use Aristocort exactly as prescribed. Read all provided information and follow instructions closely.
For Skin Use Only: Apply only to your skin. Avoid contact with your mouth, nose, and eyes, as it may cause burning.
Continue as Directed: Do not use longer than advised. If symptoms have not resolved, contact your healthcare provider.
Application Steps:
Wash hands before applying. Wash hands again after applying, unless treating your hands.
Clean and dry the affected area before applying.
Apply a thin layer and gently rub it in.
Avoid Certain Areas: Do not apply to the face, underarms, or groin unless directed by your doctor. Lower concentrations are often used in these areas, as they can be sensitive.
Do Not Cover Treated Areas: Avoid occlusive (tight-fitting, airtight) bandages or dressings unless instructed by your doctor. Allowing air to reach the treatment area after application is often preferred.
Special Precautions for Children: If applying in the diaper area, do not use tight-fitting diapers or plastic pants, as they may increase absorption and the potential for systemic side effects.
Do Not Use on Damaged Skin: Avoid applying to cuts, scrapes, or broken skin, and do not use it to treat diaper rash unless specifically instructed to do so by a healthcare professional. Applying to these areas may increase the risk of systemic side effects.
