“I would recommend this where it is an appropriate treatment. It worked well in my case of superficially infected eczema and I had a strong suspicion it would because it had worked very well on a prior occasion some years ago where this had been prescribed by my GP. However I note that current guidance (https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng190) advises against the routine use of topical antibiotics in this setting, particularly if the last application was recent, as antibiotic resistance against fusidic acid will arise very easily (and one would thus select for antibiotic-resistant bacteria on the skin).
Instead, I might recommend an antimicrobial emollient (e.g. Dermol) to be applied liberally throughout the day in alternance with a steroid up to twice a day (for up to a week, if symptoms improve). For dry, cracked skin, as is often the case with eczema, this offers the added flexibility of being able to choose an ointment rather than a cream for the steroid; betnovate ointment (0.1% betamethasone valerate) would be of equal potency as the steroid component of Fucibet.”
