Not a good idea, as the immune-suppressing activity of triamcinolone may delay healing of the infection.

Using a steroid like triamcinolone on a cold sore or fever blister may make it worse. Steroids suppress the immune system.

Don't do it! That's likely to make the blisters worse.

Is triamcinolone all right to use on a hand fungus?

Triamcinolone (Triamcinolone acetonide) won't do any harm, and may help relieve the redness, swelling, and itching -- but it's a steroid, not a fungicide, so it won't do anything to the fungus itself. There is an ointment called Mycolog-II that combines triamcinolone with the antifungal, Nystatin, that evidently works better than Nystatin alone in the treatment of candidiasis. Remember that Triamcinolone acetonide is absorbed through the skin, and has systemic effects -- so it should not be used over a large area or for prolonged periods.

Nystatin and Triamcinolone acetonide cream?

Nystatin is for fungal infections, and triamcinolone is for a variety of skin conditions that can cause itchy irritated skin such as eczema. Neither of these can cure herpes, because herpes is a virus. In fact, steroids like triamcinolone should not be used on viral infections like herpes or chicken pox because they reduce your immune system and can make the infection spread. There are creams that can be used for herpes, and these are antiviral creams. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
