Fucidin H Cream is a steroid cream, so you should consult your pharmacist or doctor before using it if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. They will weigh the benefits against any potential risks to you and your baby.

Fucidin H Cream should only be used on the face if advised by your doctor. It should not be applied near the eyes. Prolonged use on the face is generally discouraged due to the risk of side effects.

Rinse your eyes thoroughly with cold water. If irritation persists or you experience vision problems, seek medical attention immediately.

Apply the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is close to the time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not apply a double dose to make up for a missed one.

No, Fucidin H Cream should not be used for cold sores. Cold sores are caused by a virus (herpes simplex virus), and Fucidin H Cream is an antibiotic that targets bacterial infections. Antiviral treatments are available from our Cold Sore Treatment Clinic.

Fucidin H Cream is not recommended for treating spots. Acne is typically caused by a combination of factors, including excess oil production and clogged pores, rather than a bacterial infection that Fucidin H Cream is designed to treat. Acne creams and gels are available from our Acne Medication and Treatment Clinic.

Fucidin H Cream is suitable to use on the genitals if prescribed by a pharmacist or doctor, but it should be applied with caution. The skin in this area is sensitive, and prolonged use or use on large areas should be avoided unless directed by a healthcare professional.

No, Fucidin H Cream should not be used for thrush or a yeast infection. Thrush and yeast infections are caused by fungi, and Fucidin H Cream contains an antibiotic and a mild steroid, which are effective against bacterial infections and inflammation but not fungal infections. Antifungal medications are recommended for treating thrush or yeast infections and are available from our Thrush Medication and Treatment Clinic.

Fucidin H Cream is not typically used to treat psoriasis. While corticosteroids like hydrocortisone can sometimes help with inflammation, Fucidin H Cream is more suitable for conditions involving bacterial infections. If your psoriasis becomes infected, your pharmacist or GP might prescribe an appropriate treatment, but generally, other medications such as Mometasone or Betnovate Lotion are recommended specifically for psoriasis.

Yes, Fucidin H Cream may be used as a treatment option for impetigo, especially when the skin condition is accompanied by inflammation. Impetigo is a bacterial skin infection, and Fucidin H Cream’s antibiotic component (fusidic acid) targets the bacteria causing the infection, while hydrocortisone helps reduce associated inflammation.

Fucidin H Cream is not recommended for treating burns. Burns are typically treated with specific burn ointments or creams, such as Germolene or Sudacrem that are designed to promote healing and prevent infection.

Yes, Fucidin H Cream is a prescription medication. To make sure that Fucidin H Cream is appropriate for your condition, you’ll need to complete an online medical assessment. Once reviewed by one of our UK registered pharmacists, they can prescribe Fucidin H Cream if it suits your needs.
