If you have certain skin conditions, such as eczema or dermatitis, your healthcare provider may prescribe triamcinolone acetonide cream (Kenalog® cream). This medication works by reducing inflammation and suppressing an overactive immune system. It is applied to the affected areas of the skin two to four times daily. Potential side effects include skin irritation, itching, and dryness.
