Unifuci Ointment is an antibiotic used to treat infections of the skin such as impetigo (a weeping, crusty and swollen patch of skin), cellulitis (swelling, redness, and pain in the infected area), infected cuts, burns, wounds, grazes, abrasions, ulcers, boils, abscesses, spots, carbuncles (cluster of boils), infected eczema and infected contact dermatitis (inflammation of the skin). Unifuci Ointment works by inhibiting the production of essential proteins that are necessary for bacteria to grow, and multiply. Thereby, it stops the growth of bacteria without killing them directly. Then the bacteria eventually die, or the immune system destroys them and clears the infection. Also, Unifuci Ointment is used to treat folliculitis (inflammation of one or more hair follicles), paronychia (infection of the tissue surrounding a fingernail or toenail), erythrasma (infection with brown, scaly skin patches, especially in the folds of the body) and sycosis barbae (infection of the bearded skin).
