Noticed Red Pimple On Waist Line. Can I Keep On Using Fucidin Cream?

Thanks for the query.
The lesion you are having can be folliculitis.
Means inflammation of hair follicle.
This can occur when hair follicles get damaged by friction from clothing, blockage of follicles etc.
This damaged follicles can get infected with bacteria like Staphylococcus.
That can lead to formation of pus and some blood will also be present in follicle which will lead to bulging and pain.
If the pain subsided and if the lesion is not bothering much you can continue to use the fuciden cream which contains fusidic acid which is a antibacterial substance.
As it worked and helped in letting out the pus better to continue the same cream.
Along with this you can use analgesic and anti inflammatory combination tablets.
If the pain is severe and the pus is collecting again better to consult gynecologist or general surgeon once to get examined and take systemic antibiotics.
Hope I have answered your query. I will be available to answer your follow up queries. If you are satisfied with all my answer, please rate the answer after closing the discussion.

You can use the cream two to three times a day.
As at present there is no lesion you can keep the wound open just by applying the cream no need to cover.
