Nystatin and Triamcinolone acetonide cream, when used for skin conditions, are primarily prescribed as an anti-fungal agent.
Because staph is a bacterial infection, these antibiotic creams would largely be ineffective I believe.
Instead, you'll need a topical antibiotic ointment or cream prescribed by a doctor.
Which creams treat staph infection on the skin?
Firstly, it is important to remember that staph infections can come in different forms (impetigo, cellulitis, Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome) so the exact type will influence which treatment you will need.
Either way, Triamcinolone acetonide is best associated with conditions like psoriasis or where its anti-inflammatory properties come in handy. Coupled with the anti-fungal solution Nystatin they make a good line of defence against these types of problem. However when it comes to Staphylococcal or wound infections - not so much!
Overall though, I believe Mupirocin ointment is a common prescription for staph infections. It's a topical antibiotic cream which can help control a staph infection and prevent the outbreak of MRSA (a much more serious infection to be dealing with!).
