Sudocream is useless- what to do?

62 replies

DetentionGrrrl · 20/10/2006 08:36

Son is 17wks, and has had a red rash and slightly inflamed penis for about 2 weeks. Sudocream actually made it worse, which just confused my HV- she just kept saying, 'well, i'd recommend Sudocream normally' as if it is the only product in the world! Doctor has prescribed something, but that's not really doing much either. Son doesn't seem bothered by it- could it be related to his teething? And does anyone have any recommendations of something to clear it up?

Yep, metanium. It stains like the devil though, so take care!

AltheaVestr1t · 13/10/2022 19:23

I think MN is glitching on me, I had 50+ notifications that I didn't recognise (I've only been using this a few months) and this thread was one of them. Didn't see the date.

Yes, I ruined a very expensive nappy backpack with metanium.

Hey@DetentionGrrrl how's your 16 year old? Rash ok?

Anon778833 · 13/10/2022 19:55

My favourites are Weleda, Bepanthen and metanium. My dd has very sensitive skin and these have worked consistently for us.

PartyHelp · 13/10/2022 19:56

Metanium is amazing.

AlwaysFoldingWashing · 13/10/2022 20:01

Metaniun works great on my son and usually clears anything up in one treatment but it stains EVERYTHING so use with caution!

Montague22 · 13/10/2022 20:03

Metanium
But bad nappy rash can have a fungal cause. I’d book a GP appt then if the Metanium doesn’t work they might prescribe a fungal cream.

Montague22 · 13/10/2022 20:04

So said son is now a teenager 🤣

TheFrustratedRedhead · 13/10/2022 20:18

Metanium definitely!
