Q : How can I prevent nappy rash occurring?

Q : What is Sudocrem?
 
A : Sudocrem has been clinically proven in the management of nappy rash, which helps soothe, heal and protect your baby’s delicate skin. It is made up in a base with water-repellent properties which form 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.

Q : How much Sudocrem do I need to apply?
 
A : The general rule is to use a small amount and apply in a thin layer. Massage in small circular movements until the Sudocrem has disappeared leaving a translucent film. If this does not cover the affected area apply a little more – Remember a little really does go a long way.

If the area stays white after application, too much has been applied.
