Dermacomb description. Nystatin and triamcinolone (nye-STAT-in and trye-am-SIN-oh-lone ) combination contains an antifungal and a corticosteroid (kor-ti-co-STER-oid) (cortisone-like medicine). Antifungals are used to treat infections caused by a fungus. They work by killing the fungus or preventing its growth. Dermacomb will not work for other kinds of infections. Corticosteroids belong to the family of medicines called steroids. They are used to help relieve redness, swelling, itching, and other discomfort of many skin problems. Dermacomb is used to treat certain fungus infections, such as Candida (Monilia), and to help relieve the discomfort of the infection. Topical corticosteroids may rarely cause some serious side effects. Some of the side effects may be more likely to occur in children. Before using Dermacomb in children, be sure to talk to your doctor about these problems, as well as the good Dermacomb may do. Nystatin and triamcinolone combination is available only with your doctor's prescription, in the following dosage forms: Topical Cream (U.S.) Ointment (U.S.)
