question about triamcinolone acetonide cream usp 0.1%?

[=] / =| / =[]

can this topical medication interfere with the your natural production of cortisol in any way? i mean even a little bit? what about if used for a 3year period 2x a day?

prolonged use of triamcinolone acetonide cream, especially when spread on a large area of the skin may develop systemic effects, affecting the hypothalamus, adrenals, and pituitary glands. Since cortisol is produced in the adrenals and stimulated by the pituitary and hypothalamus, then it may be affected and result in Cushing's sydrome.
