Sudocrem 400g Antiseptic Healing for Baby Skin Nappy Rash Eczema
Nappy rash
Sudocrem is to soothe and heal your baby’s delicate skin and works in three simple ways. First it contains an emollient that soothes sore or inflamed skin. Second it works as a mild, local anaesthetic to help ease pain and irritation. Finally, a water-repellent base forms a protective barrier, helping to stop any irritants (urine and faeces) coming into contact with the skin.
Cuts, grazes and minor burns
Sudocrem is a gentle yet effective cream, it reduces the risk of infection and contains a mild local anaesthetic to soothe discomfort. It also helps wounds to heal by forming a protective barrier over the vulnerable area.

Nappy rash
Sudocrem Healing Cream can be applied, at every nappy change, to help treat nappy rash and soothe your baby’s skin.
Step 1: Ensure your baby's bottom is clean and dry.
Step 2: With clean and dry hands, place a small amount of Sudocrem on the tip of your finger. Remember a little goes a long way.
Step 3: Gently massage Sudocrem into the skin using light, circular movements. (Try to avoid rubbing, especially if the skin looks sore.)
Step 4: You want to create a thin, translucent film on the skin. If the white cream is still visible, you may have put too much on. (If this happens, your baby will be fine, just put a little less on next time.)
Step 5: Repeat the application of Sudocrem Healing Cream to your baby's bottom as often as you need to.
