Hi Pookie, Good question. The answer is yes and I'd just like to give you a little background on the medication so you can understand how it works. Triamcinolone is a synthetic corticosteroid (a chemical reaction steroid hormone produced in the adrenal cortex) that is used to decrease inflammation by acting within cells to prevent the release of certain chemicals that are important in the immune system. These chemicals are normally involved in producing immune and allergic responses, resulting in inflammation. By decreasing the release of these chemicals in a particular area, inflammation is reduced. This can help control a wide number of conditions characterized by excessive inflammation. Since Eczema is a form of dermatitis, or inflammation of the upper layers of the skin a mild steroid such as Hydrocortisone or Desonide can be used or in more severe cases Triamcinolone can be used to control or suppress the symptoms caused by Eczema. These creams do not cure Eczema, but your answer is yes, this cream can be used. However before using the cream for Eczema you should contact your doctor since the type of Eczema you are referring to may require a less resilient cream (not so strong). Amonda
