Can Fucidin Cream be Used to Treat Pimples on the Face?
There are many reasons that can lead to acne, such as internal heat, endocrine imbalance, staying up late, and other common factors. Once acne appears, adjusting your lifestyle and maintaining regular sleep patterns can generally help improve the condition. However, for some people, acne may persist or be severe, in which case medication may be considered. Typically, topical application of Fusidic Acid Cream can be used to treat acne on the face, promoting its resolution.
The active ingredient in Fusidic Acid Cream, Fusidic Acid, is highly sensitive to various Gram-positive cocci related to skin infections, especially Staphylococcus. It is also effective against resistant Staphylococcus aureus and has certain antibacterial effects against some Gram-negative bacteria. There is no cross-resistance with other antibiotics. Fusidic Acid Cream is suitable for various bacterial skin infections, mainly caused by Gram-positive cocci. It can be used to treat conditions such as impetigo, furuncles, folliculitis, paronychia, sycosis barbae, hidradenitis, erythrasma, acne vulgaris, infected wounds, infected eczema, infected ulcers, and other conditions. Therefore, Fusidic Acid Cream is the primary treatment for acne vulgaris, also known as acne, and can be used to treat acne on the face.
Fusidic Acid Cream should be applied topically to the affected area and gently rubbed in. If necessary, the affected area can be bandaged with a porous dressing. Apply two to three times daily, with seven days constituting one treatment phase. If necessary, the treatment phase can be repeated. Under normal skin conditions, the amount of Fusidic Acid penetrating deep into the skin is low. However, under pathological conditions, Fusidic Acid can easily penetrate deep into the skin and reach the infected site. There have been no reported cases of systemic absorption with topical use. Once absorbed, most of the drug is metabolized by the liver and eliminated through bile metabolism. The main metabolites include glucuronide conjugates, dicarboxylic acid metabolites, hydroxyl metabolites, and 3-keto metabolites, some of which retain a certain degree of anti-Staphylococcus activity.
