Guest guest Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 Dayna Where can you get tac cream and what is tac cream is a prescription needed?. We have the granulation tissue and have used the silver nitrate but the nurse said in some cases the tissue just keeps growing back. As long as it's not leaking real bad or infected to leave it alone. We have used kenalog (sp) cream. Maloy Re: Re: Vomiting--Jodi Jodi, Thanks for all the advice. I am going to try venting her. I also know that it is possible she is catching a cold. As for the granulation tissue, what happened to Max is why I don't want to use the silver nitrate. The tac cream is painless. I'll be sure to let everyone know what I find out about the tea tree oil as well. THANKS! Dayna, Mom to ALyssa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 Tac cream is Triamcinolone Acetonide Cream. It comes in different strengths and ours is the .1%. It is a prescription steroid cream. It is my understanding that granulation tissue is a good thing. But, it's one of those good things that can be a bad thing when you have too much. Make sense? Too much tissue keeps the tube site from being stable. With Alyssa, there was equal growth all around the site and it stuck up about .5 cm. This kept her stabilizer from being flush against her skin, so it was unstable and moving all the time. Thereby creating more granulation tissue as well as leaking. And the more tissue you get, the faster it reproduces. The tissue is moist, also not good. The site should be dry to prevent infection I believe. I have not heard of the cream you mentioned. This cream was prescribed by a " Stoma specialist " at our children's hospital. All she does is deal with stoma's. I figure she probably knows her stuff. Her first inclination was to use the silver nitrate because the results are immediate. I requested an alternative if one was available and she prescribed the cream. I was to call her if the tissue didn't get better. It's been 2 weeks and it's easily half gone. Just my 2 cents. . .
