Sudocrem^TM is a clinically proven management for nappy rash, which helps soothe, heal and protect your baby’s delicate skin.  Sudocrem^TM is manufactured in Dublin, Ireland and is over 70 years old. Sudocrem is the market leading brand for treating nappy rash in the UK

1.       So how does it work?

Firstly, Sudocrem^TM is made up in a base with water-repellent properties which form a protective barrier, therefore helping to stop any irritants (urine and stools) coming into contact with the skin. In addition, the emollient effect can help to soothe sore inflamed skin whilst leaving the skin feeling soft.

Sudocrem^TM can be applied at every nappy change, but please remember to only apply a thin layer as a little Sudocrem^TM goes a long, long way.

The general rule is to use a small amount and apply in a thin layer. Massage in small circular movements until the Sudocrem^TM has disappeared leaving a translucent film. If this does not cover the affected area apply a little more. However, if the area stays white after application, too much has been applied.

Sudocrem^TM contains a number of ingredients and properties, such as:

• hypoallergenic lanolin, to help provide emollient properties
• zinc oxide is an astringent which reduces the loss of tissue fluid
• benzyl benzoate and benzyl cinnamate are amongst the ingredients of Peru Balsam, recognised for its healing properties
• benzyl alcohol is a weak local anaesthetic which acts to ease localised pain and irritation. It also acts as a disinfectant/antibacterial agent and is responsible for protection against common bacterial contaminants.

2.       Treating nappy rash with Sudocrem^TM:
