PL 00289/2299 5 March 2004 15/12/2021 Does Sudocrem heal skin faster?Because it acts as a protective barrier, it prevents infection by blocking bacteria from entering a wound. A 2018 review found zinc can help speed up healing times for wounds. Another benefit to Sudocrem for wound treatment is that benzyl alcohol can act as a pain reliever.
Are you supposed to rub Sudocrem in?Step 3: Gently massage Sudocrem into the skin using light, circular movements. (Try to avoid rubbing, especially if the skin looks sore.) Step 4: You want to create a thin, translucent film on the skin. If the white cream is still visible, you may have put too much on.
How often should Sudocrem be applied?Sudocrem should only be used as directed. Apply the ointment conservatively to the affected area; massage in circular movements until it has been absorbed into the skin. It can be applied two to three times per day.
Can you apply too much Sudocrem?Massage in small circular movements until the Sudocrem has disappeared leaving a translucent film. If this does not cover the affected area apply a little more. Remember a little really does go a long way. If the area stays white after application, too much has been applied.
