Sudocrem has been presented on the pharmaceutical market for decades as a remedy against various skin diseases. I remember how my mother used it on my skin when I was still a little boy, and of course I still didn’t know why she did it and most importantly from what.

Sudocrem is an antiseptic cream used most often for deep cuts, burns and inflammation, diaper rashes for newborns. It is also equally often used in the treatment of pimples and red rashes in both adults and rashes in infants.

The structure of the cream is similar to a white paste, which is soft to the touch (similar to a thick custard) and is easy to apply to the skin Sudocrem contains antibacterial, antifungal properties, contains a weak anesthetic Consists of 79% - a water-repellent base of waxes and oils Supplied in a gray pot with red and white label Sudocrem is already used in quite a few households and can also be found in your local pharmacy, beauty supply store or online store. Primarily used to treat rashes, infections and cuts, the cream has also proven useful for acne-prone skin.

Sudocrem protects the skin

Skin is the protective layer of the body. It provides an important anatomical barrier against pathogens, irritants, water loss and environmental threats. Various pathological conditions can damage the skin and compromise the physiological integrity of the barrier. This leads to inflammation, disruption of the integrity of the epidermis, pain, itching and an increased risk of infection. One example of such a condition is urinary incontinence, which can lead to skin damage due to excessive moisture, high pH and, in the case of fecal incontinence, the presence of fecal enzymes.

Moisture barrier cream Sudocrem will help protect the skin and repel moisture and irritants.

Composition of Sudocrem cream

The effect of the cream is universal, thanks to 5 active ingredients:

1. Benzyl alcohol - 0.39% - quickly relieves redness, swelling and inflammation, eliminates discomfort, and has pronounced antiseptic properties;
2. Zinc oxide - 15.25% - is characterized by good astringent properties and promotes rapid regeneration of damaged epidermis. When zinc oxide is applied to the wound area, it provides the body with additional amounts of this trace element. Zinc oxide is necessary for the restoration of skin cells;
3. Lanolin / hypoallergenic / - 4.00% - softens and moisturizes dry skin, forms a natural protective barrier on the surface against all irritants such as urine and feces;
4. Benzyl benzoate - 1.01% and benzyl cinnamate - 0.15% - stimulate the growth of epidermal cells, promote accelerated biological regeneration of the dermis and accelerate the healing process.

The composition of Sudocrem is safe and hypoallergenic, so this drug can be used even in newborns from the first days of life.

How does Sudocrem work?

2. Helps prevent harsh irritants (urine and stool) from coming into contact with the skin;
3. Has a drying and softening effect;
4. Helps soothe inflamed skin;
5. It has good wound healing, antibacterial and antifungal properties.

The medicine is used externally only. A wide range of pharmacological effects is due to the composition of the cream. Among the components, zinc oxide plays a leading role. It dries and soothes the skin, adsorbs harmful chemical compounds and toxins, and quickly relieves inflammation.

Sudocrem will quickly eliminate irritation and unpleasant itching, reduce discomfort and protect delicate baby skin from the aggressive effects of urine and feces.

Similar drugs

There are analogues of the drug Sudocrem. They contain hypoallergenic, safe and effective components that fight inflammation and irritation on the skin of young children. Before using any Sudocrem analogue, you must obtain recommendations from a specialist. When replacing, you need to study the indications and contraindications to avoid side effects.

Dries, disinfects the surface, eliminates inflammation, and prevents secondary infections. Replacement is not suitable as a preventive measure. The action lasts for several hours. Price approximately 250 rubles.

Among the analogues, Bepanten cream is known. It can be used as a treatment and prevention for many skin diseases in newborns. The composition restores and heals the inflamed area in a short time, relieves inflammation and irritation.

You can replace Sudocrem with Vitaon Baby. It promotes rapid healing of wounds and abrasions on the skin, prevents the penetration of bacteria into damaged areas, eliminates itching and discomfort, and increases local immunity.

Mode of application

Dermatologists suggest using the drug to treat rashes of various etiologies. The cream restores the functionality of the epidermis, heals bedsores, and promotes the healing of cracks and wounds. Sudocrem for children is indicated in cases of diaper rash and rashes. It protects the skin from irritation and relieves inflammation.

Indications for use of Sudocrem:

• diaper dermatitis;
• eczema;
• bedsores;
• acne;
• thermal burns 1st degree;
• frostbite of the first degree;
• superficial wounds;
• cracks;
• sunburn.

Newborn babies are often prescribed a diaper rash cream; Sudocrem is considered the most suitable and effective. Usually severe irritation and heat rash occurs when wearing a diaper for a long time. After birth, the baby’s skin is quite delicate and sensitive, so various negative influences can cause severe irritation and discomfort in the baby.

Sudocrem for children will help quickly eliminate all unpleasant manifestations on the baby’s skin, but only if it is used correctly:

• It is recommended to apply the cream in a thin layer to the surface of the skin with lesions;
• It is necessary to put on a diaper a few minutes after treatment with the product;
• It is worth paying attention to the fact that Sudocrem and diathesis in children are considered interrelated factors. This medicine helps to quickly and painlessly eliminate all the unpleasant symptoms of this disease. In this case, it is also applied in a thin layer to the affected areas. The active substances have a drying effect, which promotes rapid healing;
• The instructions recommend using Sudocrem for children during atopic dermatitis. This disease is accompanied by severe dryness, against which cracks appear. The danger is that an infection can enter the body through them. Due to the fact that the medicine has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects, it prevents the development of complications and speeds up recovery.

How to use Sudocrem correctly

Instructions for use of Sudocrem:

1. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap.
2. Rinse the affected area with boiled water at room temperature.
3. Apply a small amount of cream to washed and dry skin until a thin protective layer forms.
4. Gently, making small circular movements, rub the Sudocrem cream into the skin until completely absorbed.
5. Avoid applying strong pressure, which can damage the skin.
6. You should not use large amounts of Sudocrem to avoid leaving white spots on the skin.
7. Use strictly as directed by your doctor.

Regular use of the drug helps reduce the risk of recurrence of dermatological problems. The medicine is used up to a maximum of 6 times a day.

If there is no effect, you should consult your doctor.

Sudocrem for acne

Sudocrem antiseptic healing cream is mainly used for diaper rash. Did you know that it is also great for treating skin conditions like acne. It helps soothe the skin and restore its integrity, protecting the affected area from further infection. The cream dries out the skin exactly in those places where the pimple has formed. Acne with proper and regular use of Sudocrem disappears after a short time. Sudocrem for acne on the face can be used at any age.

What kind of acne on the face does ointment or cream help with?

Sudocrem effectively fights acne and inflammation caused by intense production of sebaceous glands. Excessive sebum production is typical for those with oily facial skin. Since the product contains components with a bactericidal and drying effect, the ointment is ideal for all those who are faced with the consequences of an oily type of epidermis.

If acne is the result of any internal disorders in the body, Sudocrem will not be able to restore the ideal condition of the skin. However, in combination with additional medications, it will achieve the most effective result.

However, the drug is unlikely to be able to cope with severe acne. Despite many positive reviews, the cream has nevertheless established itself as an effective remedy for prickly heat and other skin problems caused by non-hormonal etiology.

Mask for the face

Since Sudocrem is very thick and paste-like, it can be used as a moisturizer.

Cosmetologists recommend applying the cream once a week as a universal face mask. It helps tighten pores and prevent sebum buildup, reducing the formation of blackheads and pimples. In reviews, women note that their face has become fresher and smoother, with a more even skin color.

Be sure to lay down a towel to avoid staining your bed linen.

Sudocrem for newborns

Eczema and atopic dermatitis

Eczema, characterized by dry and itchy skin, can have a significant impact on a child's overall well-being and quality of life.

Children suffer from eczema, which is often localized to the face, scalp, arms and legs. It can also be widely distributed throughout the body. Lesions are characterized by erythema, papules, vesicles, discharge, and crusting.

The use of emollients such as Sudocrem cream for atopic dermatitis is critical. It should be applied several times a day. Systematic use of the drug reduces the need for corticosteroid creams. The cream is able to increase the hydration of the epidermis by reducing evaporation. It acts as an occlusive layer on top of the skin. Sudocrem does not have a direct effect on the course of eczema. However, the appearance of the skin improves and itching is reduced.

Treatment of diaper rash in a child

Diaper rash, also known as diaper rash, is an inflammation of the skin covered by the diaper. This is likely due to the interaction of several factors, such as increased humidity, increased pH levels from urine, fecal enzymes and microorganisms in the diaper. It manifests itself as an erythematous rash that appears on the raised surfaces of the skin under the diaper.

The principle of treating diaper dermatitis is to keep the skin in the diaper area as dry as possible. Sudocrem for Diaper Rash is clinically proven to soothe and heal the delicate skin of a newborn baby. Young mothers should know that the diaper is put on only a few minutes after the baby’s skin is treated with cream. Pediatricians in local areas quite often prescribe Sudocrem to infants.

Diathesis in a child

Sudocrem dries out the skin very well during diathesis. The rash disappears a few days after using the drug, provided that allergens are excluded from food. In addition, the medicine has a wound healing effect.

Using Sudocrem to treat bedsores, burns and other skin problems

At the very beginning of the article, it was noted that this remedy is used not only to get rid of acne or diaper rash in children, but also to treat bedsores, first-degree burns, and so on. In this case, does the drug Sudocrem help? Feedback from patients is of the following nature:

• the product is very effective for treating bedsores, even the most advanced ones;
• after using it, minor burns quickly disappear, and small wounds heal several times faster;
• the same goes for scratches and other damage to the skin.

That is, we can say that here, too, the Sudocrem product shows its best side. It is ineffective only in the treatment of severe or moderate acne.

An antiseptic drug for children is prescribed in case of skin rashes that become inflamed, cause pain, itch, or fester. Rarely can cause side effects such as allergies. What can Sudocrem help with?

The use of cream is justified in the following cases:

• the appearance of atopic or diaper dermatitis;
• burns from direct sunlight;
• mild eczema;
• allergies in children and adults;
• allergic diathesis;
• skin infections;
• relieves diaper rash on any part of the body;
• helps with prickly heat of various types.

For Sudocrem, the instructions for use note that it can be used not only for the treatment of skin diseases, but also as a preventive measure:

1. Food, household or drug allergies in infants can be eliminated with Sudocrem or its analogues. With this type of allergy, red spots or a rash may appear, which is accompanied by burning, itching, peeling, and swelling. Papules, nodules and cracks often form.
2. Used for atopic dermatitis in newborns. What is atopic dermatitis? This is an inflammatory skin disease of allergic origin. The disease is characterized by rashes, dry skin, peeling, and cracking. Allergies in infants mainly affect the hands, popliteal and elbow areas.
3. Allergies can be easily eliminated with Sudocrem. The instructions indicate that the composition manages to relieve inflammation, dry the damaged surface, quickly heal wounds and protect dry, sensitive skin from repeated damage. The child is prescribed the drug in case of infection with atopic dermatitis.
4. The occurrence of diaper dermatitis in infants is most often associated with increased humidity and friction of the skin against the diaper or diaper. Redness and peeling appear on the damaged area. If treatment is not started, the redness spreads to adjacent healthy areas, blisters, peeling and crusts appear. The baby becomes restless, sleeps poorly, is often capricious, and cries.
5. Diaper rash and prickly heat can occur on any part of the body. Diaper rash can cover natural skin folds, especially in the groin, behind the ears, and armpits. They are considered the first signs of diathesis. Thanks to the healing components contained in Sudocrem, rashes dry out, wounds and cracks heal, itching and discomfort go away, and inflammation is eliminated.

Reviews

Nina, 32 years old, Moscow : “My child had diaper dermatitis from birth. He was born in the summer, it was very hot outside and we were still afraid that the baby would get cold, so we rarely opened the windows and did not leave him naked. As a result, large red spots appeared on the delicate skin of the buttocks, and there were areas where the skin simply began to become inflamed and peel off. Every day we bathed the baby in chamomile and string, but this worsened the situation even more, as an allergic rash appeared all over her body. I remember these days with pain in my heart. My neighbor on the landing advised us to buy Sudocrem. We bought it at a nearby pharmacy and applied it every day under diapers. Gradually, the wounds on the baby’s skin began to heal and no new areas of redness appeared. A very good drug. I recommend it to all young mothers. Buy it - you won't regret it. Every mother should know about this cream.”

Raisa, 63 years old, Pskov : “I used Sudocrem when I was caring for my bedridden husband. He was paralyzed after a stroke and did not get out of bed for a very long time. Now he is better - he can walk around the apartment. Sudocrem helped us avoid bedsores. He simply saved my husband during this difficult time for our family. I applied a thin layer of cream to my buttocks, lower back and back. There was some slight redness of the skin, but it quickly went away. I only found out later that this cream is produced in Ireland, imported drugs are always very good. Our pharmaceutical industry is still very far behind in this regard.”

Veronica, 22 years old, Mytishchi : “Sudokrem is just a salvation for children’s butts. If you just gave birth to a baby or are planning to become parents, then it should always be in your arsenal. Personally, I bought Sudocrem at a pharmacy near my house. I constantly apply this cream under diapers and carefully treat all folds. Just not a very thick layer. This drug contains zinc. Sudocrem has wound healing and antibacterial properties. It is officially approved for use in newborns. I would like to note that this drug is used very sparingly. We use it as a family. My husband once got burned at the dacha, applied Sudocrem to his skin, and the redness on his back became much less. I don't really like the packaging of this medicine. A jar is certainly not very hygienic. I take out the cream with a clean cotton swab.”

Angelina, 45 years old, Voronezh : “I bought Sudocrem for acne for my teenage son. He is now 14 years old and acne has begun to appear on his face. The boy is very worried about this and has a complex, and does not want to go to school. We bought Sudocrem for adults at the pharmacy and carefully read the instructions for it. I liked the composition and appearance of the cream. The drug has a pleasant smell and soft structure. There are no special contraindications to the use of this drug, side effects are minimal. My son applied Sudocrem once a day - at night. We noticed the effect about 5 days after use. The cream dries the skin very well. The pimples that were large and inflamed have decreased significantly. The rash has become smaller, but the acne has not gone away completely. But probably during the period of hormonal maturation of the body it is difficult to achieve the ideal option.”

Valentina, 37 years old, Korolev : “I bought Sudocrem for newborns after being discharged from the perinatal center. Our neonatologist strongly advised us to buy this drug for the baby. We smeared it under diapers. The cream is quite thick, gray-white in color. When applied to the skin it leaves a white film. As I understand it, it becomes a kind of barrier that protects the baby’s delicate skin from urine and feces. I noticed that when you use the cream, the skin looks healthy, as soon as you stop, redness immediately appears. Approximately the same effect from powder. Only if you use it, then everything around is covered in “white pollen”. Sudocrem for children is of course much more practical. If you are still thinking about whether to choose Bepanten or Sudocrem at the pharmacy, then make your choice in favor of the latter medicine. It's much more efficient. Verified."

Reviews of mothers who used the drug "Sudocrem" to treat problems in children

However, the main purpose of this product is to treat skin problems in very young children. Samples of the drug “Sudocrem” are even given out in maternity hospitals to women who have just given birth. Here's what those who have used Sudocrem for newborns say, reviews are presented below:

• it really is an excellent drug that successfully treats diaper rash in young children - many mothers gave it a solid “five” for this;
• the product is affordable and helps better than more expensive analogues;
• it also treats dermatitis, which often appears in young children;
• Many mothers also use it for prevention by applying cream under the diaper.

That is, we can say with confidence that Sudocrem is a salvation for many women whose young children suffer from skin problems. Unfortunately, when using modern diapers (and not “breathable” diapers or gauze, as was the case before), most newborns and children under one year old sooner or later develop diaper rash and dermatitis.
