Dermycin 0.3% Cream is an antibiotic used to treat minor skin infections (eg. folliculitis). It may also be used to treat infected cuts and wounds. This medicine stops the bacteria from growing, which helps to resolve your symptoms and cure the underlying infection. Dermycin 0.3% Cream is meant for external use only. It should be applied only to the affected area of the skin as per the dosage and schedule prescribed by your doctor. In order to get the most benefit, apply it regularly and preferably at a fixed time each day. Do not use larger amounts or apply it more often or for a longer duration than directed. This will only increase the risk of side effects. You may have to use it for some time before your condition starts to improve. Be patient and keep using it every day. You may observe minor irritation at the application site as a possible side effect of this medicine. Consult your doctor if this persists for a longer duration or if your condition does not improve. Avoid any contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth. Rinse it off with water if you accidentally get the medicine in these areas. Before using it, inform your doctor if you have any previous history of allergy to it or any other medicine. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using it.
