Sudocrem is perfectly safe, it can even be used on babies

Anything that is actually dangerous will always say on the label. These companies don't want sued so they tend to over-warn. Sudocrem is, as everyone else has said, fine.

Sudocrem is fine, it's classified as non-toxic and even when ingested is very unlikely to do any harm. Putting it onto the skin is completely fine.

I used to work for NHS Direct, and we had calls about Sudocrem all the time, so I used to check it on the National Poisons Database.
