Steven...
Off the record and anecdotally, I would say that
triamcinolone acetonide is no good for fungal infections.
It does aleviate psoriasis and of course skin dryness.
It's the VA's topical variant to the famous APC
(all purpose capsule) anodyne for the sick, the lame,
and the lazy. I have many tubes of triamacinolone and
no use for them other than to curb facial psoriasis.
Cheers, Dr. Death
