Very bad idea: It will make the redness and swelling go away by stopping the neutrophils from fighting the bacteria that cause acne. It will promote the same skin changes that trigger acne at puberty. Using this stuff on your face over time is likely to scar you by itself. Please get with a competent physician instead of experimenting with prescription-strength medications.

Not in the long run: Common causes of inflamed hair follicles include pityrosporum yeast (a tinea versicolor variant best handled with antifungals) and having a particular type of beard (even the military lets these guys grow a beard). Triamcinolone is an immunosuppressant and might not be the best treatment long-run. Folliculitis and acne are actually known side-effects of topical triamcinolone.

Triamciniolone cream: This would not be a good idea as the cream can damage the skin and may be absorbed into your body and cause Cushing's. Google  Cushings and look at images. Suspect you would not like to look like this. 
Also if too much is absorbed and you suppress your own adrenals you may die if injured.
