Fusix Ointment 5gm is primarily used for managing skin infections caused by bacteria. It is part of a group of medicines known as fusidanes.
Aside from this main use, the cream can also manage other types of bacterial skin infections, like impetigo, which causes swollen red patches on the skin; sycosis barbae, an inflammation of hair follicles usually in the beard area; and erythrasma, which results in brown, scaly patches on the skin.
As with any medication, this medicine should be used as directed by your doctor. It's important to inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medicines before starting this ointment. Likewise, if you notice any side effects while using it, let your doctor know right away. Make sure to continue applying the ointment for the entire duration prescribed by your doctor for optimal results.
