MRSA

does triamcinolone acetonide cream treat mrsa infections in the early
stage of development?

[Bhupinder Kaur, MD]

Hello,
Triamcinolone acetonide is a potent steroid cream and it is not used for MRSA infection which is a bacterial infection. For MRSA ( methicillin resistant staph aureus), potent antibiotics are needed which are sensitive to the MRSA infection.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
