Triamcinoline And Sun Exposure

Updated May 26, 2015

Can triamcinolone be used when in the sun? If not, is it possible to simply wash off the residue before sun exposure, or is it the drug that gets absorbed the problem? Also, if sun exposure is a problem, how long after I stop using the cream can I spend time in the sun? Thank you.

Hello, Wolfwoman! How are you?

Yes, it can make you more susceptible to the effects of the sun and washing it off won't help, since some is absorbed systemically. If you need to go out in the sub, it's best to be cautious and use clothing and strong sun protection to protect yourself and avoid prolonged exposure, according to the NIH.

It may take several weeks, before things return to normal, after your done treating with it.

Other side effects, as listed by the FDA, may include skin redness, irritation, dryness and rash.

Is there anything else I can help with?
