Question 1

can i use fucidin cream on a blind pimple that is on my forearm?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It is a topical antibiotic.  Warm compresses may also be helpful.  If it does not resolve or enlarges, please get an evaluation.

Question 2

after shaving my beard i always get some red pimples on my neck "submandibular area".my friend advice me to use fucidin cream.is it useful for my case?

Accepted Answer

Maybe not.: Fucidin is for bacterial infection. If you develop (bacterial) folliculitis after shave,  Fucidin might help. 
But if you have an irritation from razor blade, cortisone cream might do a better job. 
Or you may have a condition called pseudofolliculitis(caused by ingrown hair), a chronic stubborn problem, you'd better seek for dermatologist help, it's a little complicated(to treat).

Question 3

pimple in ear still has blood coming from it? i am applying fucidin cream on it that doctor prescribed. does this mean it's healing?

Accepted Answer

The "pimple": was obviously "vascular" (contained blood vessels) If the bleeding continues your Doctor may need to cauterize it (stop the bleeding) The fucidin cream will help prevent an infection but will not by itself stop the bleeding...if normal clotting doesn't do it get back to that Doctor!

Hope this helps!

Question 7

hi,
i have used everything on my acne yet no difference ..i ahve been using skinorean cram and fucidin crean ...please help ..thankz?

Accepted Answer

Spironlactone: For adult women the best acne treatment is the anti-androgen spironolactone. Usually 100mg orally. Expect clearing in 3 months. Not if pregnant or in kidney failure. If very severe acne and insufficient response to spironolactone, 5 months of oral isotretinoin, probably at 80mg a day, will rescue you. Not if pregnant. Acne is related to hormones, menstrual cycles, genetics. Not diet or hygiene or

Question 8

i am suffering an acne problem on my buttock area , which i apply fucidin for several days, i don't have diabetes, hygiene is good, what  is the cause?

Accepted Answer

Could be many things: An outbreak of acne like rash on the buttocks can happen from a variety of causes. Excessive sweating even with good hygiene can promote bacterial infection and the types of bacteria that can cause this are treated differently.  The Fucidin cream you are applying doesn't help adequately and you may need an oral antibiotic.

Question 9

can ketoderm 2% cream be used on pimples?

Accepted Answer

Bad choice: This is ketoconazole for fungal infections. It's not appropriate for acne. If topical benzoyl peroxide as tolerated has not cleared you in two weeks, get with your personal physician. Acne can't be cured but will eventually remit on its own. Until then, you must manage it as a chronic illness.

Question 10

what kind of cream should be use for my pimple?

Accepted Answer

Acne: It is important to treat your acne so that you don't get permanent scarring.  Some patients wait too long before seeing their dermatologist to have their acne treated. Normally topical medicines and internal antibiotics are used to keep acne under control.  You can start with an over the counter benzoyl peroxide wash while you are waiting for your appointment with your dermatologist.
