After completing my 21 day Carac treatment I began the recovery process using Triamcinolone Acetinide Ointment (perscribed by my Dr.)and had a very bad reaction to it. The burning was nearly as bad as the late stage Carac treatments. I messaged this site prior to beginning the recovery process but there were no responses by the time my 21 days were up. Anyway, due to the severity of my reaction to the Triamcinolone I called my Dermatologist and he suggested Aquaphor, it's over the counter ointment and what a difference. It was so much more soothing and began working immediately. So if you are are having a bad reaction to your recovery salve or ointment I recommend giving Aquaphor a try, it made a big diffference for me. Good luck to all going through the process, hang in there. Jack D.
