Re: Can Triamcinolone Acetonide Be An Answer

triamcinolone steroid ountment didnt fix my exfoliative cheilitis...hell it did practically nothing. i rate triamcinolone a 3/10.

clobetasol steroid ointment worked better but even that was like 6/10 performance wise

not including side effects which are serious/severe esp. long term. steroids are not a long term solution.

Problem with steroid ointments for exfoliative cheilitis

#1 steroids thin the skin on your lips so long term they are not a solution; this info is from 2 oral medicine doctors this is not merey my opinion but what 2 doctors told me

#2 there are nasty side effects with steroids long term

#3 they dont work/dont work well

#4 they stop working

#5 they cause the cheilitis to be even worse once you stop using the steroids like a rebound effect. this has been reported but ive never seen it first hand & ive used steroids combined time about 3 months total Tweet
