Triple Care Cream

Does anyone know of a chemist in South Dublin/City that carries Triple Care Cream? My mum's just out of hospital and has a very sore bum, and this was recommended. Thanks. C.

Never heard of it, but shows up here

Triple Care* Cream is formulated with Petrolatum and Zinc Oxide

"Petrolatum" would be just like vaseline, and zinc oxide is the main white substance in sudocrem and many other nappy rash creams. So I reckon sudocrem might do the trick if you cannot find the one you want. I have a zinc-oxide petroleum mix from boots which is less thick than sudocrem. Sudocrem also has antiseptics in it I think.

Sudocrem is more powerful than people give it credit for, as its marketed for babies I reckon people think it is very benign, I find it excellent for healing cuts. It will be in most supermarkets too.
