About Sudocrem Antiseptic Healing Cream
Sudocrem is the grey tub every British household knows — a zinc oxide antiseptic healing cream licensed for far more than nappy rash. The pack lists eight jobs: nappy rash, eczema, surface wounds, sunburn, minor burns, acne, bed sores and chilblains. This 60g tub is the handbag and changing-bag size of the nation's favourite nappy rash cream.
How it works
Zinc oxide forms a water-repellent barrier over sore skin — shielding a red bottom from the next wet nappy — while the cream's antiseptic action guards against infection and its emollient base soothes and softens. That barrier-plus-antiseptic combination is why one tub handles everything from nappy changes to grazed knees.
How to use
For nappy rash, apply a thin layer at each change to clean, dry skin — thin is the trick; rub in until a translucent film remains. Use the same thin-layer approach on eczema patches, minor burns, sunburn and surface wounds. Wash hands after use.
When to get advice
See a pharmacist or GP if nappy rash doesn't improve within a few days, looks infected (weeping, yellow crusts, spreading redness), or if a wound is deep or won't heal. For persistent or severe eczema and acne, this soothes — but a pharmacist can advise on treatment.

Frequently asked questions
Does Sudocrem work on acne and spots?
Acne is one of its eight licensed uses — a thin layer on affected spots (many people do it overnight) lets the zinc oxide calm redness and the antiseptic action work on the skin. For persistent acne, a pharmacist can suggest a dedicated treatment.
Can I put Sudocrem on my face?
Yes, in a thin layer on spots or sore patches, avoiding the eyes and lips. It's thick, so a little goes a long way — and it can leave a white film, hence the overnight habit.
Is it good for eczema?
It's licensed to soothe eczema — the zinc barrier protects broken skin and eases itching soreness. It sits alongside, not instead of, your usual emollient routine; see a GP if eczema is widespread or worsening.
How do I use it for nappy rash?
A thin layer at every change on clean, dry skin — rub in until only a translucent film shows. Thick layers waste cream and don't protect better. See a pharmacist if the rash doesn't settle in a few days.
What makes it work?
Zinc oxide forms a water-repellent barrier over sore skin, benzyl alcohol and its antiseptic partners guard against infection, and the emollient base soothes — protection, antisepsis and comfort in one cream.
Is this the same as Sudocrem Care & Protect?
No — this is the original Antiseptic Healing Cream, the licensed medicine with the full eight uses. Care & Protect is a daily-use barrier ointment for prevention rather than healing.
