If you have eczema, psoriasis, or certain other skin conditions, your healthcare provider may prescribe triamcinolone acetonide ointment (Kenalog® ointment). This ointment is applied to the affected areas of the skin two to four times daily. Your dosage will mainly depend on the type and severity of your skin condition. This medication is a type of steroid and works by reducing inflammation and suppressing an overactive immune system. Side effects may include skin irritation, burning, and dryness.
