Overview Fucidin Cream

This antibiotic cream, Fucidin, treats bacterial skin infections like impetigo and infected eczema. It works by halting the growth of bacteria, thereby alleviating infection symptoms. Always follow your doctor's instructions for dosage and treatment length. Apply only to the skin; consistent use maximizes effectiveness. Avoid overuse; it won't speed healing and might worsen side effects. Clean and dry the affected area before application. Wash your hands diligently before and after use. Minor, temporary burning, irritation, itching, or redness may occur but should resolve spontaneously. Report any persistent or severe reactions to your physician. Prevent eye contact; rinse immediately with water and seek medical advice if it occurs. Unless instructed otherwise, avoid airtight bandages, as they can increase side effects. Inform your doctor about pregnancy, pregnancy plans, or breastfeeding.
