Introduction
For acne caused by excessive keratinization of hair follicles, overactive sebum secretion, or infection with Propionibacterium acnes, topical sodium fusidate ointment usually yields good results when used under medical guidance. However, for endocrine-related acne due to abnormal hormone levels, or for severe nodular or cystic acne, using sodium fusidate ointment alone may have limited effectiveness.

Generally, Lisdading refers to fusidic acid sodium ointment. The effectiveness of fusidic acid sodium ointment for acne depends on the specific type of acne. It is usually effective for acne caused by excessive follicular keratinization, but may not work for acne triggered by hormonal imbalances. If discomfort occurs, it is recommended to seek medical advice promptly. Details are as follows:

Fusidic acid sodium ointment primarily contains adapalene, a retinoid medication that regulates the growth and differentiation of keratinocytes, suppresses sebaceous gland secretion, and reduces the growth of Propionibacterium acnes, thereby combating acne. For acne resulting from excessive follicular keratinization, overactive sebum production, or infection with Propionibacterium acnes, using fusidic acid sodium ointment under medical guidance is generally effective.

For endocrine-related acne caused by abnormal hormone levels, or severe nodular or cystic acne, using fusidic acid sodium ointment alone may not be effective. In such cases, symptomatic treatment under a doctor's supervision is necessary.

In daily life, maintaining healthy habits—such as balanced diet, adequate sleep, and moderate exercise—can also help enhance treatment outcomes.
