Product Introduction
Halobetasol Propionate 0.05% w/w + Fusidic Acid 2% w/w cream treats steroid-responsive skin inflammation complicated by susceptible bacterial infection. It pairs a very potent topical corticosteroid with an antibiotic.
How to use
Apply a thin film to the affected skin after gentle cleaning and drying. Keep away from the eyes, face and skin folds unless those sites are specifically included in the treatment plan. Do not add an airtight covering.
How it works
Halobetasol reduces inflammatory signalling through glucocorticoid receptors. Fusidic acid inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by interfering with elongation factor G.
Side effects
Local stinging, dryness, itching or irritation may occur. Excessive use can cause skin thinning, stretch marks or secondary infection.
Important information
A steroid–antibiotic cream does not treat ringworm or viral skin lesions. Repeated courses can select fusidic-acid-resistant bacteria while prolonged steroid exposure damages the skin.
Uses
- Steroid-responsive inflammatory skin disease with susceptible bacterial superinfection.
Benefits
Treats bacterial involvement while reducing the inflammation contributing to redness and soreness.
Can it be used for every itchy skin rash?
No. Fungal infection, scabies, contact allergy and eczema without bacterial infection need different approaches.
Can I keep using it after the infection clears?
The antibiotic and potent steroid are intended for a limited course, rather than open-ended maintenance.
Why should it not be mixed with a moisturiser in the hand?
Mixing the cream with a moisturiser in your hand changes its concentration and can spread medicine onto unaffected skin. Apply the products separately.
Can it treat acne spots?
No. A potent steroid can worsen acne and cause additional acne-like bumps.
Does a faster reduction in itching prove the antibiotic is working?
Not by itself. The steroid can improve itching before the bacterial response is clear.
