Nystatin is not in the steroid class. It's an antifungal. The active ingredient in Triamcinolone is a synthetic steroid, in the corticosteroid family. Here's a link to the chemical formula, indications, application practice, and more for Triamcinolone on drugs.com:
Triamcinolone (Triamcinolone acetonide) won't do any harm, and may help relieve the redness, swelling, and itching -- but it's a steroid, not a fungicide, so it won't do anything to the fungus itself. There is an ointment called Mycolog-II that combines triamcinolone with the antifungal, Nystatin, that evidently works better than Nystatin alone in the treatment of candidiasis. Remember that Triamcinolone acetonide is absorbed through the skin, and has systemic effects -- so it should not be used over a large area or for prolonged periods.
They are both topical steroids. But Desonide .05% is a mild steroid whereas Triamcinolone Acetonide .1% is a middle strength steroid (so more potent).
Nope -- Hydrocodone is an opioid -- a synthetic opiate.
Nystatin is an antifungal medication. Oral nystatin is used to treat yeast infections of the mouth. Nystatin may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.

Legally, hydrocortisone 0.5% or 1% cream or ointment is available over the counter. Use as directed only.

Nystatin and triamcinolone are topical creams used to treat skin infections caused by fungus or yeast.
