What Is Fucidin Cream?

Fucidin cream is an antibiotic cream that treats eczema or psoriasis. It is a topical treatment applied to the affected area to prevent itchy, red, or sore skin from getting worse. A doctor must prescribe the drug and, therefore, it is unavailable over the counter.

Description

How Does Fucidin Cream Work?

The active ingredient in Fucidin is Fusidic acid. It provides the antibiotic properties to the drug. Fusidic acid works by stopping the bacteria that cause infections from growing and multiplying. When the disease-causing bacteria get suppressed, they do not produce a protein that causes skin and scalp irritation.� In inhibiting protein production by bacteria, Fusidic acid prevents this bacteria from replicating and spreading. The immune system eventually kills the bacteria relieving the crusty skin from eczema and dermatitis.
