Frequently asked questions
What is Sudocrem used for?
Sudocrem Antiseptic Healing Cream is mainly used to soothe and protect against nappy rash, and is also applied to minor skin conditions such as small cuts, grazes and minor burns. It forms a protective barrier while helping to calm irritation.
Is Sudocrem antiseptic?
Yes, Sudocrem Antiseptic Healing Cream contains mild antiseptic ingredients, which is why it is often used on minor skin irritations as well as nappy rash.
Does Sudocrem help spots or acne?
Some people use Sudocrem on occasional spots because it can soothe and reduce the look of redness, but it is not a licensed acne treatment and will not treat the underlying causes of acne. For persistent breakouts, ask a pharmacist about dedicated acne products.
Is Sudocrem good for eczema?
Sudocrem may help soothe minor dry or irritated patches, but it is not a specific eczema treatment. If you have diagnosed eczema, use the emollients or creams recommended by your GP or dermatologist.
Is Sudocrem good for burns?
Sudocrem can be used on minor burns and scalds to soothe and protect the skin. For anything more than a small, superficial burn, or if blistering occurs, seek medical advice.
Does Sudocrem help with thrush?
Sudocrem is not a treatment for thrush, which is a fungal infection that needs an appropriate antifungal product. Speak to a pharmacist or GP, who can recommend the right treatment.
Can you use Sudocrem on dogs?
Sudocrem is made for people, and although some is used on pets, it should only be applied to animals on the advice of a vet, as pets may lick it off and ingredients may not suit them. Check with your vet first.
Is Sudocrem safe during pregnancy?
Sudocrem is applied to the skin and is generally considered suitable for occasional use in pregnancy, but if you have any concerns or a skin condition, check with your pharmacist, GP or midwife.
