Try a plain emollient like Vaseline. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV, Flu and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!

Triamcinolone should never be used on the face. What you are experiencing is called a "rebound reaction" - the inflammatory response has been suppressed, and is now over-responding with redness and desquamation. Another name for this is "steroid rosacea". A dermatologist can help you get through this rebound reaction, but it will take some time.
