Fucidin H is a topical cream that combines two active ingredients: fusidic acid and hydrocortisone. Fusidic acid is an antibiotic that works by penetrating the skin to kill bacteria causing skin infections, while hydrocortisone is a corticosteroid that helps reduce skin inflammation, itching, and redness. This dual-action cream is commonly prescribed for treating a variety of skin conditions such as eczema or dermatitis where infection and inflammation are present. Fucidin H is designed for short-term use and is applied directly to the affected area of the skin, usually under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Its effectiveness in treating infected skin conditions, while simultaneously reducing inflammation, makes it a valuable option in dermatological treatments.
