What is Sudocrem and when is it used?

Sudocrem is an antiseptic healing cream that treats and soothes various skin conditions like nappy rashes, eczema, bed sores and more.

The antiseptic cream consists of a water-repellent base that forms a protective film thus preventing the skin irritants like moisture, detergents, urine and stools coming in contact with the skin.

How will it treat symptoms?

For nappy rash, Sudocrem is clinically proven to soothe and heal your baby’s delicate skin and works in three simple ways: an emollient soothes sore or inflamed skin; its ingredients are recognised for healing properties; and a mild local anaesthetic helps to ease pain and irritation.

For other symptoms, the treatment provides gentle yet effective relief from cuts, grazes, minor burns, acne and eczema. It works by forming a protective layer over the vulnerable area, reducing the risk of infection, and soothe discomfort.

Can I buy Sudocrem Over the Counter?

You do not need a prescription for Sudocrem, however you will be asked to complete a short medical questionnaire by your Chemist-4-U pharmacist before we can take your order. This includes some simple questions that all pharmacies legally are required to ask before supplying this kind of product. This helps our pharmacy team to be sure that this product is the best choice for you.

What causes Nappy Rash?

Up to a third of babies and toddlers have nappy rash at any one time. It usually doesn’t develop in newborns, but all babies can get nappy rash.

Nappy rash can be caused by:

  • Your baby’s skin being in contact with wee or poo (stools) for a long time
  • The nappy rubbing against your baby’s skin
  • Not cleaning the nappy area or changing the nappy often enough
  • Soap, detergent or bubble bath
  • Alcohol-based baby wipes
  • Your baby recently taking antibiotics

There may be red patches on your baby’s bottom, or the whole area may be red. Their skin may look sore and feel hot to touch, and there may be spots, pimples or blisters.

Sudocrem should only be used as directed. Apply the ointment conservatively to the affected area; massage in circular movements until it has been absorbed into the skin. It can be applied two to three times per day.

When should this product not be used?

Do not use Sudocrem if you are allergic to any of the listed ingredients. This product is for external use only and should not be used on the inside of the mouth, rectum, vagina or penis. If this cream comes into contact with dressings, clothing, bedding, or other fabric it can be easily ignited with a naked flame. Keep away from fire while using this product.

Does Sudocrem cause any side effects?

Minor side effects have been linked to this treatment, including irritation and allergic reaction. Symptoms may include:

  • Itching
  • Burning
  • Soreness where the cream is applied

Severe allergic reaction may result in swelling, redness and the development of sore and itchy bumps. Should irritation occur, you should stop using it immediately and speak to your doctor. For more information about reporting side effects, see the MHRA’s Yellow Card Website.

Benzyl, Lanolin, Zinc Oxide

The penis is a very sensitive organ with only a thin layer of skin, which can make it prone to cuts and injuries. Friction, scratching, and simple accidents can all lead to a cut on the penis.

You can treat minor cuts on the penis at home by washing the area with clean water and soap. However, it is important to avoid getting soap in the cut, as this may cause pain or irritation.

If necessary, a person can wrap the cut in a soft, clean bandage. They may also need to avoid sexual activity until the wound heals fully.

Tips for preventing cuts on the penis include:

  • washing the penis regularly and drying it thoroughly afterward
  • wearing comfortable, well-fitted, and appropriate underwear during sports and exercise
  • using a condom during sexual activities
  • using a lubricant during sexual intercourse
  • applying a cream such as sudocrem or vaseline, but beaware they can weaken a condom
