Product Description
Fucidin cream 2 percent contains fusidic acid, a topical antibiotic commonly used to treat bacterial skin infections. This medication works directly on the affected skin area and helps stop bacteria from growing and spreading. Unlike Fucidin H or Fucibet, this cream contains only an antibiotic and no steroid, which makes it suitable when infection is present but skin inflammation is mild. Fusidic acid cream is frequently prescribed in the UK for impetigo, infected eczema, infected dermatitis, and infected wounds. By controlling bacterial growth on the skin surface, Fucidin cream helps reduce redness, swelling, irritation, and other symptoms associated with infection. Fucidin Cream 15g by LEO Pharma is formulated as a topical antibacterial treatment that targets staphylococcal bacteria responsible for many skin infections. Many patients are searching to order Fucidin cream online at skincareproduct to use this treatment for infected cuts, grazes, and bacterial skin conditions.

Who Should Use Fucidin Cream
This cream suits adults with bacterial skin infections, including patients with impetigo, infected eczema, or dermatitis. It works well for people with infected cuts, grazes, or wounds, individuals prescribed fusidic acid antibiotic treatment, and patients needing a topical antibiotic for skin infections.
How to Use Fucidin Cream 15g
Clean the affected skin area with mild soap and water, then dry the skin completely before applying the cream. Apply a thin layer of Fucidin cream directly to the infected area and gently spread it across the skin surface using your fingertips. Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and other sensitive areas. The cream is usually applied three to four times per day according to the doctor's instructions. Treatment typically continues for 7 to 10 days, and it is important to complete the full course to ensure the infection is fully cleared. In the first few days, apply three times daily on infected skin. Continue regular use as symptoms improve and complete the full course within 7 to 10 days. Do not stop treatment early even if symptoms improve.
How Fusidic Acid Cream 15g Works
Fusidic acid is an antibiotic that works by stopping bacteria from producing essential proteins required for growth and replication. Without these proteins, bacteria cannot multiply or spread. This action prevents bacterial infections from worsening and allows the immune system to eliminate remaining bacteria from the infected skin area. By reducing bacterial activity, Fucidin cream helps control symptoms such as redness, swelling, irritation, and pain associated with bacterial skin infections.
