What Is Sudosalve?
Sudosalve is an antiseptic cream used to treat nappy rash, minor burns, cuts, grazes, and skin infections. It contains the active ingredient dibrompropamidine isethionate, a trusted antiseptic that kills certain bacteria and fungi, helping to prevent infection and support natural healing.

Sudosalve for Nappy Rash
Up to a third of babies will experience nappy rash at some point. Sudosalve Nappy Rash Cream helps soothe inflamed skin, kill bacteria, and prevent infection.
To prevent future outbreaks:
-
Change nappies promptly when wet or soiled.
-
Clean the nappy area gently and dry thoroughly.
-
Allow nappy-free time each day.
-
Avoid bubble baths, scented soaps, or alcohol-based wipes.
If the rash does not improve within a few days or worsens, seek medical advice as your baby may have a fungal infection, which requires antifungal treatment.
