Dr. John Chiu answered

Anti-fungal: I am concerned about the potent steroid (triamcinolone) on your eyes because it may cause further thinning of the eyelids plus other complications. Consider seeing a dermatologist. Topical antifungal agents have also been used with success without the problem with topical steroid on the face.
