Sudocrem
Sudocrem is a clinically proven, over-the-counter medicated barrier cream. Its water-repellent base protects skin against irritants like urine and stools, while zinc oxide acts as an astringent to reduce tissue fluid loss, and benzyl alcohol works as a mild local anesthetic and disinfectant to soothe pain.
Dosage by Body Weight
Clean and dry the affected area, then apply a tiny amount of cream using clean, dry hands. Gently massage the cream into the skin using small circular movements until it disappears and leaves a thin, translucent film. If the skin remains white, too much cream has been applied.
