I would not use any steroid-based med on a boil. Boils are typically encapsulated pockets of bacteria -- your body's defense is to keep them bottled up until it can kill them. With an infection like that, using a med that reduces your immune reaction (which is the whole point of steroids) would be unwise. Don't try to "pop" it either -- don't want to express the pus intoyour system if it breaks the encapsulation in the wrong direction. If it's bad enough to cause you pain, consider getting it lanced, ideally by a professional. Really nasty boils may require the contents be cultured, and systemic antibiotics may be called for.

Is triamcinolone all right to use on a hand fungus?
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.
