Nystatin and triamcinolone are topical creams used to treat skin infections caused by fungus or yeast. Nystatin is an antibiotic that prevents fungus from growing on your skin, while triamcinolone is a steroid that reduces the actions of chemicals in the body that cause inflammation, redness, and swelling.
Recently while treating a yeast infection with nystatin and triamcinolone, I noticed that a hemerrhoid I had been suffering with for years had almost conpletely gone away after just a few days. The oitment may not be prescribed for hemorrhiods, but it worked for me.
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.
