yes i will highly recommend to stop using triamcinolon steroid any more however nystatin is fine to use. because over use of triamcinolon causing skin thinning and rash. you can avoid fungal infection by keeping your groins and anus dry, clean, and hygienic. if nystatin donot work than switch to other antifungal ointment. but changing the rash dressing daily and keep the rash , groins, and anus dry and clean will help you. thank you
