Can you advise if using Fucidin antibiotic cream was a bad idea? I applied it once to the burn area. Will this cause any damage/harm, or should I not worry about it? I thought it would help in preventing infection but now I am not so sure. Can you ese my mind about having used Fucidin once?
Brief Answer:
Yes you can use it.

Thank you for the followup query.
Its absolutely fine for if you want to use Fucidin antibiotic cream. Secondly, if you feel increased burning sensation on face due to burns then you can use lignocane gel over face. It will give soothing effect.
