- Facid HC Cream (Fusidic Acid 2% + Hydrocortisone Acetate 1%) is a medication containing Fusidic acid and Hydrocortisone that is used to treat various skin conditions caused by bacterial infections, such as eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis. It helps alleviate symptoms such as redness, swelling, pain, itching, and discharge from the infected area. The medicine works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis and reducing the release of chemicals that cause skin inflammation and itching.

If you experience severe allergic reactions like hives or difficulty breathing, stop using the medication immediately.
