Fucidin H cream is a dual-action cream for treating infections associated with eczema and psoriasis. This mild topical corticosteroid/antibiotic cream is particularly effective if your skin is broken and infected and works to stop bacteria from entering cracked skin, eliminating irritation and swelling. Fucidin H cream is suitable for most adults and children and contains the active ingredients hydrocortisone (a steroid) and fusidic acid (an antibiotic).

No, Fucidin H Cream isn't suitable for all eczema types. Its main purpose is treating eczema infections. You can find other creams that provide symptomatic relief for mild eczema.
It's not recommended to use fucidin H for mild psoriasis, as it is primarily a treatment for eczema and bacterial infections. Choosing a specialist for psoriasis treatment can reduce your symptoms.
Fucidin H Cream contains a corticosteroid, which can cause irritation in people with sensitive skin. Please consult a registered pharmacist or doctor if you're unsure whether it's a suitable treatment for your needs.
Yes, hydrocortisone is renowned for treating inflammatory skin conditions and reducing discomfort. So, when you apply Fucidin H, it should relieve itchy skin and discomfort.
No, the cream is only for treating existing infections and won't prevent others. However, your doctor or a skincare specialist can advise you on how to manage your condition.
It is typically recommended that Fucidin H cream should be used for 7-10 days, as it contains active ingredients. Your infection should have cleared up at this time. If not, we recommend you speak to your GP for further advice.
Although fucidin H cream may be prescribed for other skin conditions under a doctor's supervision, we would not prescribe it for anything other than bacterial infections associated with eczema and psoriasis.
Please consult your doctor before combining Fucidin H with other treatments. While it's possible to do so, not getting medical advice could lead to severe side effects and worsen your symptoms.
Applying moisturiser before applying Fucidin H Cream might dilute the medication, so it's best to use it afterwards. Before applying moisturiser to the affected area, please wait at least half an hour.
It generally depends on the severity of your condition. Some people notice results within a few days, but completing the full treatment course is best to ensure the infection resolves.
Fucidin H Cream is a short-term treatment for infected eczema. It's not a long-term solution, and using it for longer than recommended can increase the side effects.
Fucidin H is best for infected skin conditions, and better treatments are available for use on the scalp. Please contact our registered pharmacists for recommendations.
