Oct 31, 2015

Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
Fucidin is a topical antibiotic; Locacid is topical tretoin (a derivative of retinoic acid, mainly used for the treatment of acne). Neither are useful in the case of the irritation of the skin after shaving. As we cannot know exactly the problem with your beard skin without direct examination, I advise you to consult a dermatologist on the matter. It could be a form of "atopy", meaning that your skin over-reacts to certain triggers. A full evaluation, including avoidance of certain shaving and cleansing products and shaving habits, is necessary to guarantee optimal results.
