Q: white patches on skin using fucidin h

Hi, my son 19 month old,recently had bacterial infection on cheeks. Took him to doctors and he said it was eczema, prescribed him Fucidin H. I used it twice on my son and noticed that where the cream was applied to the cheeks, the area has now gone white, should this be happening. I am quite worried.

Thanks

Decreased skin pigmentation at application area is a side effect of this cream.

Hi
I have used it on my 16 month old daughter for the same thing and am worried that her face is also lighter than before, which is more noticeable because she is of mixed race.
Just wondered if you could put my mind at rest, has your son's skin gone back to its natural pigmentation or is still white?
