GSK Drapolene Cream

Drapolene Cream is effective for the treatment and prevention of nappy rash. It also provides soothing relief for minor burns and wounds.

Nappy Rash
Babies have sensitive skins which need extra care. The nappy area is particularly prone to rashes and even the best kept babies get nappy rashes and sore bottoms from time to time.

Nappy rash is due to irritation of the skin by the chemical breakdown of urine through urine-splitting germs. At first, the skin is spotty red and moist, later becoming thick and wrinkled, then peeling at the edges.

Other complicating infections may develop if the tender skin is left unattended.

Drapolene contains 2 gentle, yet powerful antiseptics, which kill the urine-splitting germs. Drapolene treats and prevents the infection whilst it soothes and brings relief to baby’s tender skin.

Treatment Direction:
Change soiled napkin regularly. Wash and dry baby’s bottom and apply Drapolene Cream after every nappy change.

How to obtain best results with Drapolene Cream?
When applying Drapolene Cream, spread evenly paying particular attention to the folds of the skin. It is important to make sure that the affected area is dry and free from all traces of soap.

My comment:
Sometimes I see red spots on my baby's bottom skin. It may be caused by too frequent usage of diapers or putting on diapers for too long time. Sometimes when he has a constipation, the area around the hole became red. So, I apply some Drapolene evenly on the affected area.

It's seldom that my baby's folds of skin affected. The folds of skin are mostly affected due to urine-splitting.

I apply the Drapolene on my baby's skin whenever it's needed. Sometimes 3 times a day when the skin area became affected.
