Does Triamcinolone Acetonide Help Relieve Chafing From Bike Riding?

The upper inside area of my thighs have what looks like a gauld and I am sure it is from riding a recumbent bike for 30 minutes. Have been riding it for months and this condition has just started. I have a tube of triamcinolone acetonide cream. Can I try it to help it heal ? Thank you for your opinion
