A member asked:

Can a guy use triamcinolone to get rid of infection, yeast infection?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No.: Triamcinolone is a steroid. It can alleviate the itching and redness of a yeast infection temporarily, but many times the yeast infection gets worse. You need an anti-fungal medication to properly treat a yeast infection. You can find some preparations over the counter; stronger ones need a prescription. Hope this helps!
