I'm trying to figure out how to use Kenacort 0.1% triamcinolone oromucosal gel for mouth or gum ulcers. Could you guide me on the steps? Should I just apply the gel and wait, or do I need to spit it out afterward? And what happens if I accidentally swallow some?

To apply Kenacort 0.1% Triamcinolone Oromucosal Gel for gum ulcers, you should wash your hands thoroughly before applying the gel. Take a small amount of gel on your clean fingertip. Gently apply the gel directly onto the affected gum ulcer. Avoid rubbing the gel vigorously, just spread it evenly over the ulcer. Allow the gel to remain in place and avoid rinsing your mouth or eatingdrinking for at least 30 minutes after application. Do not spit out the gel after application, let it stay on the ulcer to provide relief. If you accidentally swallow a small amount of the gel, it is generally safe. However, try to avoid swallowing it as much as possible to ensure maximum effectiveness for the ulcer. Remember to use Kenacort 0.1% Triamcinolone Oromucosal Gel as directed by your healthcare provider for the recommended duration.

I've had this white patch on the back of my shoulder for about 20 days and it's turned black after I used melanocyl ointment. It's peeling like dry skin now, and sometimes it itches, though it doesn't really hurt. The skin feels a bit sensitive. Can someone help me figure out what's going on and how to treat it?

That could be fungal infection as this needs evaluation visit Dermatologist for appropriate management,do not attempt to scratch it or squeeze it.

My lips have become really dark and I'm not sure why, especially since I rarely smoke. I've tried using various oil creams but nothing seems to help. Could you suggest the best treatment to help lighten them?

Darkening of the lips can be caused by various factors, including smoking and sun exposure. To help lighten your lips, you can try using a lip lightening cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid. One option is "Melalite Cream" which contains hydroquinone. Apply a thin layer on your lips once daily in the evening. Additionally, using a lip balm with SPF during the day can help protect your lips from further darkening due to sun exposure. Make sure to stay hydrated and maintain a healthy diet rich in vitamins and antioxidants to support overall skin health, including your lips.
