Drapolene Cream

Nappy rash is an absolute horror by all accounts - ammonia from urine effects the skin much like a burn would, making it red, sore, and in extreme cases blistered. You can reduce the risks of your baby getting it in the first place by changing nappies regularly, using talcum powder to help them keep dry and by applying cream at the first hint of redness. I've been trying sudo cream, and as my mother bought me a pot of Drapolene, I've given that a go as well. Drapolene comes in 200gram tubs and isn't terribly expensive - prices will of course vary depending on where you shop, but it seems to be ... more

On recommendation from a friend that this was a miracle cure for nappy rash, I went to boots and preceeded to buy some, I payed £1.99 for it at the time. ***** So what is drapolene? ****** Drapolene is a soothing effective relief from nappy rash. It supposedly helps to treat and prevent nappy rash while still allowing a nappy to do it`s job.

In the centre of the tub is the word drapolene with a pink ... more

Nappy rash is a horrible thing... When a baby wees, the urine goes into the nappy and is fine, doesn't hurt them one bit, but when they poo too, the bacteria mixes together with the urine making the ammonia nasty, causing burning to the skin, and nappy rash. Regular nappy changing (straight away after they have pooed), and good washing of reusable nappies should mean that your little one's bottom stays soft and clear, but sometimes, it still happens. Bronwyn seems to be ultra sensitive, and if I haven't noticed the poo fast enough, nappy rash will flare up, and not just a little bit of redness ... more

I have been lucky in that both my sons have rarely suffered with nappy rash, except when teething or ill. But when they did get it.... boy was it bad. I tried every cream on the market - especially those pushed at you in the baby freebie packs - but to no avail and I was beginning to despair. And then I discovered Drapolene. Such an excellent cream. It has never taken more than 24 hours to clear up even the worst nappy rash, even after a very nasty bout when my youngest son had a kidney infection (and acid wee!). I find it much less greasy than the other products available and, unlike some ... more

Where do I start with this cream I tried everything when my daughter started to suffer with nappy rash, she was teething and I asked my Health visitor what to use as I had tried so many different things and all she could recommend was sudo cream so I carried on trying all sorts then I asked a person in my local boots chemist and told them my daughters bum was so red row and that I had tried everything everyone suggested and still hadn’t worked to heal it up. And the person at Boots recommended Drapolene antiseptic cream so I thought here goes something else to try and guess what it worked ... more
