Fucidin Cream belongs to a class of antibiotics and is used to treat various skin infections such as impetigo (crusty, weeping patches), cellulitis (swelling, redness, pain), infected cuts, burns, wounds, grazes, abrasions, ulcers, boils, abscesses, spots, carbuncles (clusters of boils), infected eczema, and infected contact dermatitis (inflamed skin).

Fucidin Cream contains an antibiotic called fusidic acid, which works by stopping the growth of bacteria causing the infection. This helps clear up the infection and relieve symptoms like swelling, redness, and pain.

Fucidin Cream can be used in children, but the dosage and duration should be determined by a doctor. Use it cautiously and only as directed, especially in young children or infants.

Fucidin Cream is specifically used to treat bacterial infections of the skin. It is not effective against fungal infections (such as ringworm) or viral skin conditions (such as cold sores or genital herpes). Use it only as prescribed for bacterial infections.

Fucidin Cream is used to treat existing skin infections. It is not typically used for preventive purposes. Follow your doctor's advice on wound care and hygiene to prevent infections.
