Cuts, grazes and minor burns

Cuts and grazes are common once children reach the age when they’re always running around outdoors. Little accidents happen and Sudocrem is always on hand to help.

Use a dab of Sudocrem Antiseptic Healing Cream on the affected area to soothe and heal sore skin. Your little ones will be up and running around again in no time, comparing their war wounds.

 

Treatment for abrasions

Abrasions are caused when little elbows or knees are scraped, leaving an area that’s red and tender. Cleanse with a clean cloth or cotton wool swab using water and a touch of mild soap. Then apply Sudocrem Antiseptic Healing Cream to reduce the risk of infection. Sudocrem also contains a mild local anaesthetic, which will help soothe the pain.

 

Treatment for small cuts

Small cuts should be treated like an abrasion, by thoroughly washing the affected area and then placing it under running water to ensure all the dirt is washed out. Then apply a small amount of Sudocrem before covering with a plaster. When the cut starts to heal you can remove the plaster to expose the cut to fresh air, helping the healing process.

 

Treatment for larger cuts

Deep cuts may require medical attention, especially if the bleeding is heavy. Raising the injury above the heart can help slow down the bleeding. If you suspect the cut could be infected or you have any concerns, consult your doctor as soon as possible.

 

Minor burns

Small burns can be very painful so it helps to cool down the area as quickly as possible. If you can, hold the affected area under cool or lukewarm water for a several minutes until the pain subsides. Applying Sudocrem Antiseptic Healing Cream can also help to soothe sore and tender skin. If symptoms persist or if there are side effects, please consult your doctor.
