Fucidin cream - how much to use

Got a scraped knee - week's old injury. I fell off the bike, the wound is small but deep and got infected yesterday/today. I got fucidin cream literally seconds before GP and pharmacy got closed for the weekend but the leaflet doesn't say how much to apply and I didn't ask. I'm thinking of applying 4-5 times a day to cover the wound with a thin layer, for 5 days. Just my common sense. Any experience anyone?

Sounds about right what you said

managedmis · 17/01/2020 20:34

I. E. 4-5 times per day

package leaflet

it doesn't say how long to use, but as you say, apply about 4 times a day. see a dr if it gets worse or you start to feel unwell. if no improvement soon go back to gp.
