Curash Medicated Nappy Rash Cream

If I could give it 0 stars I would. Just back from the emergency with our newborn after she has extreme burns immediately after using the cream. PARENTS DO NOT USE THEIR PRODUCTS EVER
DO NOT USE. My sisters poor baby ended up in emergency from use. It gave her a chemical like burn across her whole bottom. No idea how this is still on the shelves. Show details
Product Safety Recall – We had a horrible experience when they first changed the formula, so we switched brands. Months later I have discovered that the tube we had, was one of the 2 batches!! Please check your tubes! Show details

Wish I saw the bad reviews before buying – This cream gave my NEWBORN horrible nappy rash! For a bottle which claims 'suitable for sensitive skin' I am quite shocked. After reading the horrible reviews of some parents even getting painful symptoms applying to their own rashes, I can only imagine how sore it must have been for my baby. I am very disappointed as we chose this cream over my… Read more
typical first choice (sudocrem). I have worked over 8 years with babies and sudocrem is the cream we have always used. Never again will I attempt to find something else. Yes it was cheaper but sometimes you cannot substitute quality over price. I will be warning others about the affects this cream had on my baby and many others.
Positive reviews
Excellent cream! – I Can not fault the Curash nappy rash cream. We have used this cream since our bub was a new born and never had any reactions with it. Very gentle product highly recommend it. Clears up nasty rashes very quickly, My favourite choice of the different brands to choose from! A+++
best nappy rash cream ever – highly recommend the curash nappy cream, curash is the best there have been times when my son has had an extremely red button where it looked extremely painful the only cream that would help to clear it up is this curash nappy cream, honestly the best product out there, need more in my nappy bag
Pretty good nappy rash cream – I bought the Curash Nappy Rash Cream from the Towradgi Gold Cross Chemist NSW shortly before my tube of cream run out from a different brand and so far so good - it hadn't left any marks anywhere especially on my clothes not to mention it works quite fast plus I like the fact that I only have to put the cream on once a day.
Negative reviews
Looking to take further action against Curash! – My 1 year old baby had been using Curash regularly when needed for nappy rash, and often as a preventative just like your packaging advertises. Upon opening a new tube we applied as usual and within about 24 hours he began to develop what became an extremely severe rash on his bottom that created pus filled blisters and red raw burns. We consulted… Read more
our GP who took multiple swabs and we were unable to find the cause. As we had been using Curash previously we did not think anything of it and continued to use it. The blistered began to fade after three long weeks leaving scarring and redness. We paused using Curash for a short period to leave it as natural as possible however a nappy rash occurred and therefore we applied Curash again. In the span of a couple of hours blisters began to reappear and the redness increased. Fearing it was the Curash we stopped it again and within a day they were gone. I believed my son just was a one off and the reaction was something his skin was not able to handle however I have researched this allergic reaction, after being referred to a paediatric dermatologist when the blisters reappeared, and I am in absolute shock and disgust to find so many other families have had the same thing happen. How can a company that is purposefully directed to care for baby skin not recall a product that has been doing such awful and harmful things to our babies.
Absolutely horrible product!! – Do not by any means use this cream on your child! I used it on myself and it has turned minor chaffing into a full blown burning skin rash! Show details
DO NOT USE IT – Purchased 2 tubes this week and after the 1st use my 18 month old was screaming crying trying to pull her nappy off. Tried it 3 more goes after this and the same thing happened. Tonight I used it on my 7 year old and 2 seconds after I applied it she was in hysteric's crying that it was burning her I had to bath her to get it all off. Applied sudocream and then had no problems. Something is not right about this product. Show details

Child was screaming after use – Thought this was a good alternative to sudocream however our child complained loudly, screaming that it was burning until we could wipe it off, Something is seriously wrong with this product and should be recalled. Multiple other reviews are complaining of the same issue. Show details
Doesn't spread at all – This product is ridiculous! It doesn't spread, it stinks and it seems to hurt my son. What kind of nappy cream doesn't spread? It doesn't stick to his bum at all but gets on absolutely everything else! The worst cream we've ever used Show details

Caused serious red rash and blisters – The new formula (without almond oil) is terrible!! and caused serious skin irritation on my 6 month old. After only using for a day, their whole nappy area was stollen and red with a rash and puss filled blisters. I couldn’t understand where this had suddenly come from and then I realised the nappy cream was slightly different (it’s very hard to… Read more
tell from the box, but it spread differently when applying) I wrote a complaint to Curash and received a dismal response. Turned me off all their products now! don’t see how they can still happily manufacture this dangerous product that clearly doesn’t work and is harming babies.
WRITHING IN PAIN – Burnt my daughters little bum so severely it was bright red and little pimple like blistered appeared and made her private part welt. She had sand in her poo earlier in the week then a nappy rash. Assuming it was just from the sand, last night when I put on cream after her bath she started pulling at her nappy in clear discomfort. I put more of… Read more
another cream on as I was in a different part of the house and she seemed OK.
Then this morning her bottom was red raw with little mini puss blister like pimples. I lathered her up with sudocream and this arvo it seemed much better.
Fast forward to her bath tonight, afterwards I put curash on again and she screamed blue murder for 15 mins straight pulling at her nappy writhing in pain.
I grabbed a wet wash cloth, patted her down and realised it was the curash cream burning her skin.
I Grabbed the sudocream from downstairs and after that and panadol she eventually started relaxing. Wish I had of seen the reviews first.
Don't buy!! Caused 2nd degree burns!! – I have 10 month old twin boys. One of them is allergic to sudocream, the other twin allergic to bepethan so I have been trying to find a nappy rash cream to use for the both of them, mind you they don't get bad nappy rash unless I am using ones they're allegic to. Started using curash, both my twin boys broke out in pimples all over their bottoms… Read more
and testes which over 12 hours looked like 2nd degree burns. One twin had a blister pop on his bottom creating a large indentation. Both my boys where in distress. I had to seek medical attention. Don't risk buying this, it should be taken off supermarket shelves.
DO NOT PUT ON YOUR BABY – As soon as I put it on my baby, he started SCREAMING in pain and I freaked out thinking I’d put something else on him by accident, but nope it was the nappy rash cream :( it left him burned and I really wish I saw these reviews beforehand ! Show details
Don't use under any circumstances! – Used this for the first time after accidentally leaving our usual product at home. Almost immediately after applying my 1 yr old daughter starting screaming and writhing in pain. Within 20 seconds the whole area where the cream had been applied became red and raised. Inconsolable crying for almost 1/2 an hour. Managed to wash cream off but skin… Read more
remained very red and swollen. On looking at ingredients we found the cream contains an alcohol base. Can't believe that is even allowed for baby use. Would never use again or revommend
DANGER! – My grandson had bad nappy rash which we were treating with SUDOCREAM. We ran out and switched to CURASH. Within seconds of applying it he was screaming in pain. At first I didnt make the connection. I put him in a warm bath to try to settle him down. After a while he was OK again. I then got him out , dried him off and reapplied more CURASH. Same… Read more
result.... screaming in pain within a few seconds. I then realised what was happening. By this time his skin was visibly redder over a bigger area. This product is dangerous to some children ( not all it seems but why take the risk). The CURASH company needs to publicly acknowledge the problem and recall this product immediately.
BURNING AGENT - DO NOT USE – After using curash nappy rash cream for 18 months as we found it to be the ONLY cream that cured my daughters nappy rash, the NEW FORMULA has since done the opposite. On first use (as a precaution we use the nappy rash cream at least once a day) we noticed little white dots appear, we then ceased use. 1 week later my daughter got a bad nappy rash… Read more
from childcare, and my first instinct was to use Curash Nappy Rash Cream like we have for the past 18 months. As soon as I applied it she started crying in agony and screaming in hysterics!! I had to quickly wash it off in the bath. Once it was washed off she stopped crying. PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS CREAM. The old formula is brilliant and I have called around chemists in hope a bottle is still stocked somewhere but unfortunately everyone only has the new formula.
WARNING Do not apply on your baby – Please do not use this product on your baby or yourself. It burns your skin really bad, I don't know why such dangerous product is available. Show details
Burns like hell! – I used it on my 1 year old son who screamed in agony when I put it on. I thought it was because of his pre existing rash, but now I have one myself and tried the cream and it just caused intense stinging pain… Like an 8 or 9 out of 10 pain. Wouldn’t go away until I wiped it off. This cream needs to be taken off the shelves! It’s dangerous, and now I feel guilty for putting my son through it. Show details

Do not use – We couldn’t find the product we normally use. So we gave it a go. After my baby shower we apply curash nappy rash cream. When I put the nappy and start dressing her she start scratching her nappy. I took the nappy and wash her straight alway. It thought it could be a allergy to the formula but after seen the reviews It looks like the products has… Read more
some serious issues. I do not recomend. I didn’t leave the product long enough to see what it could have done to my daughter skin.
New formula is terrible – I used Curash Nappy rash cream on both of my kids (now 23 and 18 yrs old) and never had an issue with the product. So naturally when my first grandchild was born, I suggested the product to my daughter. She has been using the nappy rash cream since he was born and it worked great, until now. Recently they changed the formula of the rash cream but… Read more
since we trusted the product, we continued to use it. Until last Friday when my grandson developed an extremely bad rash, and when I say bad he had hundreds of little puss filled blisters all over his bottom, scrotum and in the folds of his skin. He was screaming in that much pain that nappy changes were near impossible. There hasn’t been any changes to my grandsons diet, he’s not teething or sick. The only change was the new curash cream formula. Saturday afternoon we went to the chemist and bought QV baby barrier cream. Within 12 hours his rash had calmed down, and he wasn’t screaming in pain. Today he has no rash and is his happy little self again. I will NOT be recommending this product or any other curash product to anyone. QV is a far superior product and is also Australian made.
Horrific boils on my baby’s skin – I was given this cream and thought to give it a try, and it was a horrible mistake! They need to take it off of the shelves, as it’s dangerous. It caused my daughter nappy rash, horrible boils, blisters and red raw burned skin. It is too acidic for babies skin. Use Sudocrem instead because it at least prevents nappy rash and doesn’t cause awful burns, boils and rashes. If I could give Curash a lower score I would! Show details
Not great – This cream is very difficult to rub into the skin,it almost feels like it attracts a dampness when you put it on so it feels wet to the touch and just slides around in clumps on open rashes and sores It never gets that protective coverage going on the areas that need it like sudocream can However it is OK on minor issues like chaffe or a bit of… Read more
eczema or dermatitis IF the skin is not open I would not recommend this for nappy or drool rash, at all,especially if its at the open stage. Could possibly work if you mixed some talc into it but I'd stick to sudocream for babies,it might cost a few dollars more but at least it works
Do not recommend curash medicated nappy rash cream – I do not recommend this product. Not only was it hard to rub in as it didnt smooth out but rather slide into heaps on the skin making difficult applying. This cream burned my sons skin. He had one small red mark the size of a 5cent coin and i thought this product would be good preventing further marks or rash. He was in pain crying and later… Read more
grabbing at his nappy. We took his nappy off and and found the cream was the reason to his pain burning his fair skin. We cleared the area of all cream noticing relief in my sons behavior almost immediately. My son has never had a reaction to any other cream in the past and after this happening to a first time use after opening the tube, i will be sending this product back. I do not recommend this product, curash baby care medicated nappy rash cream 20% zinc oxide w/w
It burnt my 3 yr olds skin! – His skin was a tad inflamed from an over night nappy, we used the spray my mother bought for when we stayed over. It was the curash nappy rash spray. He cried a little, I thought it was because with was cold. Next nappy change his skin was red raw, burnt! Nothing else changed like nppys or clothing, washing powders etc... it was 100% this spray… Read more
cream!
What your seeing in the below image is my son's poor bottom covered in nasty boils and a red raw burnt from the spray and it sticking to his nappy like oil so spread upwards and around.
Burns baby skin – I applied this for the first time to my son's nappy rash. He had a terrible pain cry that I had never heard before. Used sudocrem instead. Was wondering if he was just shocked but from looking at other reviews I think it really hurt him. Show details
IT BURRRRNNNSS. It Burrrrrrnnnnss – I used this cream on a chest rash that is essentially adult nappy rash. Well, it didn't fix my rash, but it did horribly burn my skin, so I guess the rash is now the least of my problems?? Writing this review while I writhe in pain from the aftermath. I wish I had read the reviews on this sight before purchasing. For the love of God, please don't put this glorified acid on your babies. Show details
Red Rash after using – I bought this as I was becoming tired of washing Sudocrem from my nails. After a day of using it I noticed it was making the whole area turn red. I’m just hoping it goes away quickly as we will be going back to using sudocrem. Show details
Skin looks burnt – I wish I had have looked at other reviews before using! I thought the spray was a great idea. I put it on with my daughter’s night nappy and she has woken so red raw. I’m off to buy more sudocream now as my girl never wakes red with using that cream. Show details
Worst produce ever – My baby's skin turned to red. Instead of curing it was making rash worse. Please don't use this on infants/toddlers. The symptom started even after first use. Even after I stopped the cream usage, it took a week to heal. I was using sudocream before. Just for a trial I switched to this worst cream Show details
