What is Sudocrem for?

While Sudocrem is claimed to be the UK’s number one selling nappy rash cream, its makers emphasise its versatility, and as a useful first aid item. Sudocrem‘s mild antiseptic properties are said to help soothe the soreness of sunburn, for example, while having an emolient effect. Sudocrem can also be used on cuts and grazes to help protect from irritants and infections – it contains a mild local anaesthetic to soothe pain and may assist healing of the skin. It can be used on minor burns, chilblains and eczema, making it a must-have for any first aid kit or medicine cabinet.
