Troubleshooting
Cream appears thick and difficult to spread.
Warm a small amount between your fingertips before application, or ensure you are using a very thin layer. The warmth of your skin can help it spread more easily.
Skin condition is not improving or seems to worsen.
Discontinue use and consult a doctor or healthcare professional. Ensure you are applying the cream consistently and as directed on the label.
White residue remains on the skin after application.
You may be applying too much cream. Use a smaller amount and gently massage it in until it leaves a translucent film, not a thick white layer. Less is often more with Sudocrem.
Accidental ingestion.
Sudocrem is for external use only. If accidentally ingested, seek medical advice immediately or contact a poison control center.
