Does Fucidin H Cream Heal Burn Mediated Infection?

Hi, My doctor prescribed some Fucidin H Cream for an infection on my finger in 2010 and gave me some extra to keep at home for incase of future issues. Now it s 3.5 years old and I have a burn that s gotten infected. Is the cream still good to use for this infection? Thank you in advance for your answer.

Hello

Thanks for the query

I wouldnt recommend you to use a cream which is 3.5 years old and I also suggest silverex ointment for the burns than Fucidin H cream.
I would like to add here that any burn which has got infected needs medical attention and I wouldnt home remedy

I hope I was of help

Regards
