I recently started using Nystatin/Triamcinolone Ointment to treat a persistent fungal infection with inflammation on my skin. The ointment seems to be helping with both the infection and the redness, but I'm curious about others' experiences and any potential side effects or tips for using it effectively. It contains Nystatin, which treats fungal infections like yeast, and Triamcinolone, a steroid that helps reduce redness, swelling, and itching. It's used to treat skin conditions that have both inflammation and a fungal infection. I've heard it can cause some side effects, so I'd love to hear from anyone who has used it and can share their story. I am new to this medication and want to make sure I am using it correctly. The doctor gave me a 30gm tube and I am wondering if anyone knows how often to apply it to avoid excessive use. Thanks!
