Hi & Welcome to HCM.

I can understand your problem of not been able to find alternative cream of Fusiderm.

Fusiderm cream actually contains 2% of antibiotic Fusidic acid which is found be effective in the treatment of infections like pustular acne (pimples), impetigo, infection of the hair follicles and other skin infections.

The same antibiotic may also be found in creams like Foban, Fucidin, etc.
If you are not able to find the above mentioned alternate preparations then other best choice with same efficacy would be Mupirocin creams which may be available as Bactroban serving the same purpose of treating the pimples.

Hope to have answered your query.
