Can nystatin and triamcinolone acetonide cream help athlete feet?

I was prescribed triamcinolone acetonide to use WITH an over the counter anti fungal cream (like clotrimazole) to cure my athlete's foot. I was getting severe, scarring fungal infections that the anti fungal creams would not cure. The Triamcinolone stops the itching and burning, as well as the swelling which allowed the anti fungal cream to work much more effectively and quicker.

There are anti-fungal medications specifically for that problem that you can get, without a prescription, at your local drugstore. Steroid creams of any kind should not be used on fungal infections.
