Fucidin Cream 15g by LEO Pharma is a topical antibacterial treatment that contains fusidic acid 2%, commonly used to manage infections on the skin caused by bacteria. It is applied directly to the affected area where it works to limit the spread of infection and improve skin condition. This formulation is different from combination creams because it contains only an antibiotic and no steroid component. This makes it suitable for cases where infection is present without the need for additional anti-inflammatory treatment. Fusidic acid works effectively against bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, which is often responsible for common skin infections. It is widely used for conditions like infected eczema, impetigo, and minor infected wounds. With regular use, it helps reduce visible symptoms and supports recovery of the skin.

Gently clean the affected area using mild soap and water, then allow the skin to dry completely. Apply a thin layer of the cream over the infected area and spread it evenly using clean fingertips. Use the cream two to three times daily or as directed. Avoid contact with eyes, lips, and inside the nose. Wash your hands after applying unless your hands are the treated area. Continue using the cream for about 7 to 10 days and complete the full treatment course, even if the infection starts to improve earlier. Application Routine: Day 1 to 3, apply to affected area two to three times daily. Day 4 to 7, continue regular use as symptoms begin to improve. Day 7 to 10, complete full course to ensure infection clears. Important Note: Do not stop early even if the skin looks better. Skin Conditions Treated: Impetigo. Infected eczema. Infected dermatitis. Infected cuts and wounds. Boils. Folliculitis. Carbuncles.
How it works
Fusidic acid works by blocking the ability of bacteria to produce proteins needed for survival. When bacteria cannot grow or multiply, the infection is controlled and gradually cleared. This allows the skin to heal while reducing redness, irritation, and discomfort in the affected area.
