Triamcinolone Acetonide to treat a Mucocele

Hi Everyone,
I've had a recurring mucocele for 6 months now.

First it started of as a regular mucocele, filling up and going down and filling up, etc for 4 months. Then in January I had it excised, which was not a pleasant experience. I was mucocele-free for about 3 weeks, until it came back bigger and stronger in the same location about a month ago. I'm pretty sure I had 5 little mucoceles pop up where I had my stitches and once they had deflated, they had conglomerated into one very large, hard, white "friboma/keloid" mass. And worst of all, it seemed to be getting bigger and harder by the day. I visited both the ENT and an oral surgeon and they both said it had grown too big and too hard and will need to be removed again. I was almost out of my wits contemplating the horrible possibility of a never-ending cycle of painful excisions in the same location.

Just as I was about to undergo another surgery last week, the doc told me to hold off and apply a topical cream (Triamcinolone Acetonide) to the location 3x a day to decrease the inflammation  and come back for surgery in a month. So I've been doing that for the past week, in addition rinsing with Listerine 2-3 times a day and avoiding acid-y/spicy foods.

Well to my extreme astonishment, my giant, hard mucocele/fibroma monster (6cm) has deflated and almost smoothed over to nothing in only a week! I can still feel the hard scar tissue from the first excision and some uneven-ness, but it has virtually disappeared. Mind you this was not the soft/bulbous mucocele I had the first time, so I was extremely astonished to see it almost disappear at this state. Now I don't want to jinx myself and say it is completely gone, because it very well may come back (fingers crossed it does not!) But the combination of Triamcinolone Acetonide and Listerine along with avoiding spicy/sour foods seem to provide a good solution so far, with pretty great results. Who knows, at this pace I might be able to cancel that surgery I had scheduled for next month, I'd be ecstatic. Wish me luck!

By the way, if anyone tries this simple method, lemme know how it works for you.
