Fucidin H Cream is a prescription topical treatment used to manage skin conditions involving both bacterial infection and inflammation. It is commonly prescribed for infected eczema, dermatitis, or secondary bacterial infections associated with pre-existing skin conditions. The cream contains a combination of fusidic acid, an effective topical antibiotic, and hydrocortisone, a mild corticosteroid. This dual-action formula provides fast symptom relief while targeting the underlying infection.
How It Works
Fucidin H Cream works through two active ingredients. Fusidic acid is an antibiotic that prevents bacterial growth by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. It is particularly effective against Staphylococcus aureus, a common cause of skin infections. Hydrocortisone reduces inflammation by suppressing the immune response in the skin, helping to relieve redness, itching, swelling, and discomfort. Together, these components address both infection and inflammation, promoting healing of the affected area.
Why Choose Fucidin H Cream
Fucidin H Cream offers targeted treatment for infected inflammatory skin conditions, reducing the need for separate antibiotic and steroid applications. It is easy to apply and quickly absorbed, offering localised relief without systemic effects. For patients suffering from flare-ups of eczema or dermatitis complicated by infection, Fucidin H Cream provides a fast and effective option. The inclusion of a mild steroid makes it suitable for short-term use on sensitive skin areas such as the face or folds, under medical supervision.
