Question: I was originally given "Triamcinolone Acetonide cream USP, 0.1% with a tube of nystatin cream. Many tubes of this but only one tube of Nystatin cream. Will this cream work to get rid of occasional mild yeast rashes without the Nystatin cream?

Brief Answer:
Triamcinolone is not used to treat yeast infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

Triamcinolone acetonide is a corticosteroid medication so it is a corticosteroid cream. It doesn't affect yeast infection.
Nystatin ointment can be used for fungal, yeast infection.
Triamcinolone can make it worse.

Hope I have answered the question.
