Aloderm Skin Cream 50 gm contains Fusidic acid, an antibiotic that works by inhibiting the production of essential proteins that are necessary for bacteria to grow and multiply.

Bacterial skin infection: It occurs when bacteria enter the body through a scratch or cut in the skin. They often begin as small, red bumps that increase in size slowly. Some bacterial infections are mild and can be treated easily with topical antibiotics, but other infections require an oral antibiotic. Different types of bacterial skin infections include impetigo, cellulitis, boils, and Hansen's disease (leprosy). Impetigo is a highly contagious skin infection that occurs as yellowish crusts on the arms, face, or legs. Cellulitis is a common bacterial skin infection that causes swelling, redness, and pain in the infected areas of the skin.
