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 4

can you put fucidin cream on abscess? i have one at the crease of where my upper thigh meets my right buttock. its like a very painful but not white.

Accepted Answer

Open or closed?: An abscess is a collection of pus.  If you have a skin abscess and it has not yet opened, no medicine on the skin will help.  If it is swollen but pus has not formed, then moist heat can sometimes help.  In many cases it is wise for a doctor to drain it--see one!  If it HAS opened, then the drainage of pus is the only thing needed for it to start healing; keep it clean and open as best you can.

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

i am experiencing  rash in armpit (quality: pustules or pimples) , skin redness or irritation, itchy rash (severity: severe) (quality: severe itchi... bumps and red on outer elbows armpits and buttocks. benadryl cream and pills not working?

Accepted Answer

Probably fungal: rash, moniiasis which will respond to OTC anti fungal creams like Lotrimin AF, Monistat, Clotrimazole etc. If itching is intense add a small bean sized drop of 1% hydrocortisone cream to  a nickel sized drop of anti fungal cram and apply as a thin film,twice daily.

Question 10

i had last week a pimple like a pea on the upper of my buthole it hurted only when i wipe i put fucidin on it now its smaller and white!is it serious?

Accepted Answer

? abscess: sounds like a small peri-rectal abscess. That is a collection of infection and pus in a little opening in the skin, Would continue using the ointment and see your doctor if it gets tender again
