Abstract
Background and Aim
Seborrheic dermatitis is a common inflammatory disease for which various treatments have been proposed. The main purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of 80-mg Triamcinolone solution diluted with 0.1% normal saline for the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis in adults.
Methods
For this study, 120 patients with seborrheic dermatitis were considered. After obtaining written and informed consent, patients were treated with 80 mg of Triamcinolone diluted with 0.1% normal saline. To evaluate the effectiveness of Triamcinolone treatment, the scoring index (SI) and the level of patient satisfaction were evaluated at 2 and 4 weeks after the start of treatment and also 4 weeks after the end of treatment.
Results
The results of the study showed that 61.67% (74 patients) were satisfied with "good" to "very good" for the Triamcinolone treatment to seborrheic dermatitis. Based on the findings of the study, it was found that the SI before treatment was equal to 2.45 ± 7.45, which after 2 weeks after treatment, this index decreased by 61.6% (SI: 2.86 ± 1.94). In addition, the SI decreased to 88.6% (SI: 0.85 ± 1.02) after 4 weeks.
Conclusion
Considering the high decrease in SI, increasing patient satisfaction and observing a low number of cases with recurrence of the disease by Triamcinolone treatment method, it can be concluded that injection of Triamcinolone 80 mg diluted with 0.1% normal saline can be effective and efficient for the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis.
