Sudocrem Product Information
Sudocrem is a market leading product for the management of nappy
rash. Clinically proven for the management of nappy rash, it
also helps to soothe, heal and protect your baby's delicate skin
from further irritation.
Sudocrem has a water-repellent base which forms a protective
barrier, therefore helping to stop any irritants (urine and
stools) coming into contact with the skin. In addition, the
emollient effect of Sudocrem can help to soothe sore inflamed
skin whilst leaving the skin feeling soft.
Sudocrem can also be used for other skin conditions that require
a soothing protective cream.
Although Sudocrem is the market leader in the nappy rash sector,
it can also be used for other skin conditions as a soothing,
protective cream.

Treating the elderly
Elderly skin is thinner and less resilient, more easily damaged
and slower to heal than that of a younger person.
Elderly people, especially those with limited mobility or those
who are bed or chair based, may have special skin care needs.
Skin complaints such as incontinence dermatitis and pressure
sores can be distressing, both for the sufferer and friends or
relatives who are involved in their care and wellbeing.
However, there is much that can be done to help. As a tried and
tested antiseptic healing cream, Sudocrem can also be used to
treat the development of these skin problems.

What causes Nappy
Rash?
Even
the best cared for babies may experience nappy rash.
Your baby's tender skin is delicate and can be irritated by:
Ammonia
produced by bacteria in stools reacting with urine, which then
irritates and burns the skin.
Wet
/ soiled nappies that are not changed straight away (for example
when asleep).
Humidity
caused by hot weather and pilchers (plastic pants) that can
encourage the growth of bacteria.
Loose
bowel motions caused by a change in diet, vaccinations or when
your baby is ill or teething.
Chemicals
in washing detergents and soaps that are not rinsed out
properly.
Alcohol
and chemicals in some baby wipes, lotions and oils.
Soaps
used at bath time that can wash away natural oils that protect
your baby's skin.
How
do I protect against Nappy Rash?
Protecting
your baby's skin from coming into contact with irritants is the
best prevention.
