It's common knowledge that Sudocrem is the go-to remedy for a multitude of skin woes.

Be it a pesky sunburn, the discomfort of eczema or tackling a bout of nappy rash for the little ones, the trusty cream has proven its worth time and again. Now, taking over discussions on X, formerly Twitter, Sudocrem is making waves and not for reasons you'd typically imagine.
