Is Fucidin H Cream Effective For Recurring Chicken Pox?

my doctor prescribed Fucidin H cream because I have reoccurring chicken pox, I googled and it seems that reoccurring chicken pox is called shingles. I was searching online about this cream because i wanted to learn a bit more about his cream, and i saw on this one site, it said this cream not to be used in viral skin infections, such as chickenpox, shingles. I know it s probably fine to use this cream since my doctor prescribed it. But, I m still a little bit worried that is it true that this cream shouldn t be used in chickenpox/shingles? if yes, then why did my doctor cribbed it? Thank you.

Hi,

As per your query you had recurring chicken pox marks on the face which is mainly after viral infection and poor immunity of body. You are already taking medication so complete that course only as per prescription. Along with that apply topically calamine lotion will heal up the rashes.

Chicken pox lesions don't leave scar as such until and unless you scratch them. Eat green leafy vegetables and fruits in diet. Apply coconut oil as well. Don't scratch lesion with nail as it will cause bacterial infection there.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
