Description

Sudocrem Antiseptic Healing Cream – 125g

Sudocrem Antiseptic Healing Cream is a trusted, multi-purpose skin cream used to soothe and heal a range of skin conditions, including nappy rash, eczema, acne, minor burns, chilblains, and bed sores. It is suitable for use in babies, children, and adults.

⸻

How It Works

Sudocrem works in three ways to help the skin recover. It forms a water-repellent protective barrier over the skin to keep out irritants such as urine, stools, and moisture. It also contains healing agents to help repair damaged skin, and a mild local anaesthetic to reduce pain and discomfort in sore or inflamed areas.

⸻

Directions for Use

Apply a small amount of Sudocrem to the affected area using gentle, circular movements until it forms a thin, translucent film on the skin. For nappy rash, apply at each nappy change after cleaning and drying the skin thoroughly. A little goes a long way — use only a small amount each time. Sudocrem is suitable for all ages, including newborn babies. Always read the patient information leaflet before use. If you are unsure about the correct dose, speak to your PillSorted pharmacist.
