Fucidin H cream is an antibiotic and steroid cream. It contains two active ingredients: fusidic acid, an antibiotic, and hydrocortisone acetate, a steroid. Both of these ingredients work together to treat dyshidrotic and infected eczema.
People with eczema tend to have dry skin because their skin is less able to hold water. This can make it vulnerable to triggers that cause itchiness and inflammation, and scratching it can cause your skin to crack, making it open to infections. These changes to your skin barrier can increase your likelihood of developing infected eczema.
Dyshidrotic eczema is another type of eczema that affects your hands and feet. It tends to start out feeling very itchy, and can have a burning sensation, but has no visible appearance. As it gets worse, tiny blisters filled with clear liquid in large groups appear. They then form into bigger blisters which can become infected. If infected, the skin becomes inflamed, irritated and painful. The blisters can also pop and leak, therefore causing further infection. This can cause your skin to become very dry and cracked. In severe cases, this can cause your skin to bleed as well.
Fucidin H contains two active ingredients: fusidic acid and hydrocortisone acetate, both of which work differently to treat your symptoms.
There is only one dose of Fucidin H. It comes in either a 30g or 60g tube, and the amount you apply depends on the size of the affected area. The cream is applied twice each day for a total of two weeks.

It’s important to apply the correct amount of product as advised by your clinician. You will typically apply it twice a day, preferably in the morning and evening. To apply Fucidin H, follow the instructions below:
With consistent use, you should start to see some improvement in your skin after a few days. If there’s still no improvement after seven days, contact our clinician for advice. Stop using Fucidin H after two weeks, as it may cause side effects.
If you forget to use Fucidin, apply it as soon as you remember. Then continue with the treatment as normal.
If you’re applying Fucidin H on your face and it accidentally gets into your eyes, wash your eyes thoroughly with cold water.
