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.
No.
It is not a fungus so the nystatin will not help (or hurt). It is a herpes infection so the steroid (triamcinolone) may make it worse.
You can use Lysine pills, over the counter Abreva or several prescription products.
Although the question is not clear, I suspect the question is about these medications used for yeast infections, including thrush, that are a result of having lupus and taking immunosuppressive medications.
Immunosuppressive medications make lupus patients more prone to infections of all kinds. If nystatin coes not resolve the thrush ask for oral diflucan.

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.
