Can Triamcinolone Acetonide Cream Be Used For Itching Around The Eye Area?

my left eye is swollen and a little itchy can i put a little triamcinlolne aceonide cream on it? I'm sure it was from working out side cutting down old weeds, my left arm itches also so I did put some there. I get this everytime I cut down old weed in yard against the fence ( I just forget) once a year.
