Is Using Triamcinolone Acetonide Safe For Bug Bites?

Can I use Triamicinolone acetone cream for flea/bug bites? I have been using either benadryl cream or clobetasol. The clobetasol worked pretty well but I have the Kenalog from a different source and wondered if it was acceptable for such use. Thank you

The triamcinolone cream should work just as well as the clobetasol cream.

They're both cortisone cousins
