If you're looking for treatment options for infected eczema, then you've probably noticed that there are two treatments that sound very similar: Fucidin Cream and Fucidin H Cream. But what's the difference?

As we mentioned above, fusidine cream is an effective prescription antibiotic cream that contains 2% fusidic acid.

Fucidin H Cream is a version of Fucidin cream with hydrocortisone ingredients added. Hydrocortisone is a mild steroid. This makes Fucidin H cream a stronger treatment option with a more effective anti-inflammatory effect for more severe infections. You can find more information about the uses of Fucidin H cream here.

Regular Fucidin is better for mild eczema or skin infections, severely cracked or broken skin, or eczema that is not particularly inflamed.

Another treatment option is Fucibet Cream - a prescription drug that contains two active ingredients: fusidic acid and betamethasone. Learn more about the uses of Fucibet cream in our Use guide for Fucibet Cream.

If you are not sure which method is best for you, you can consult your GP or our team of qualified pharmacists who will be more than happy to help.
