Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I think Sudocrem is a cream that contains Zinc Oxide and is used to cure dermatitis due to napkins and excess moisture. It is used to keep skin dry and only for several days not for every day usage. If your case is similar try it.
Hope my answer was helpful, if you have any other questions I'll be glad to help you. Take care!
Best Regards, Dr. Olgeta Xhufka (General and Family physician)
