Question 1

i have has some sort of nose sore for three years i was told it was a tiny cyst and it was removed but it came back. i have tried vas, fucidin, poly?

Accepted Answer

See ent: You should see your ear nose and throat doctor for evaluation and treatment that will clear the problem.

Question 2

why does fucidin topical have a warning label that says do not put in nose, eyes or mouth? what would happen if you used fucidin in any of these areas?

Accepted Answer

Fucidin: Fucidin is a topical cream for the skin that is an acidic compound.  Use in the mouth, ears or nose would cause severe irritation. It is  advisable not to touch those areas. until you have washed your hands, especially if there is any infection in the area you applied it to.
You could spread the infections.

Question 3

9 months ago i was prescribed 2% fucidin ointment to use inside my nose for a boil.
i stopped using it because i noticed spider veins and discoloration on my nose. the skin hasn't improved since and is bruising easily, what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Rosacea: I doubt that the fucidin caused the skin condition of your nose. Instead it may be a form of rosacea because of redness, thinning and visible veins on your nose. Sunlight, wind, Spicey foods and alcohol can play a role in the development of rosacea. A dermatologist can evaluate and advise you about your nasal appearance.

Question 4

hi, i had a small mole removal incision on my nose. three weeks now, the wound has not healed, was filled with pus, still red, no scab and now it has a yellow crusty layer in the skin, applied fucidin cream and flucloxacillin, still red. please help?

Accepted Answer

: Three weeks is a while however the nose is relatively cartilaginous. If the area of the ulcer is smaller and the area of redness smaller or not expanding, continue the topical treatment and cleaning and keep the ulcer moisturized with the topicals. If the area of redness or the ulcer is getting bigger or if you have fever , seek urgent medical evaluation for probable oral antibiotics.

Question 5

good afternoon - i currently have mumps virus and have been to the doctor, but i also have gotten some staph infections in my nose and under my arms. i have nasepetin and fucidin, is there anything else i can do to help with the staph.  ?

Accepted Answer

Mupirocin alt: Continue the creams as prescribed three times daily. Leave time for each to absorb prior to the next application of cream. Cleanse the skin well and avoid irritation to the area. Monitor for fever and cough. Please follow up with your PCP.

Question 6

it's been almost 2 years that i'm having a blister kind of spot on penile head. it started with a tiny brown spot and then developed few more. later it formed a shape like 'v' . initially i started with fucidin ointment but no improvement.

Accepted Answer

Rash: Hi, it’s hard to say without a picture but there is a great app that may be able to help you get a diagnosis without being seen in person by a dermatologist. The app is called VisualDX and is one of the best, if not the best out there. Many clinicians, including myself, use it. Just snap a photo and it gives you a list of possible diagnoses. Good luck!

Question 7

can i use betamethasone 0.1% with fusidic acid 2% w/w for seborric dermatitus on nose folds and face. prescribed by dermatologist concerned right treatment as i would like a second opionion please?

Accepted Answer

: A good combination for the face- cannot use a stronger topical steroid preparation on the face due to side effects

Question 8

prescribed phenoxymethylpenicillin and fusidic acid for tonsillitis, sore nose piercing and bad headache. not told to remove nose ring though.correct?

Accepted Answer

Most say 'remove': I know that the majority of doctors would advice removal and it couldn't be a bad idea. If you can call the doc you saw to clarify, do it. If you think it a wise idea, do it.  Healing will be faster and cleanliness easier. Up to you - best wishes.

Question 9

my son went to the gp recently.they told us to let him use fusidic acid cream for his nose bleed.his nose is red and  and looks infected.what shall do?

Accepted Answer

Follow Up: If a patient is getting worse on a treatment then the treating physician needs to know.

Question 10

topical fucidin cream combine with lightening cream is it safe?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely combination: I don't know of any reported interactions between fucidin cream and the common skin lighteners, which usually use hydroquinone as their active ingredient. But I've never run into a situation where both were used at the same time on the same area of skin. Dark spots are not usually infected, and vice versa.
