About Happynap Cream

Happynap Cream is a dermatological antiseptic medication, primarily used to treat and prevent diaper rash and other rashes caused due to tight clothing. Happynap Cream promotes the healing of chapped skin and diaper rash. Diaper rash is an inflammatory reaction which is localized to skin areas usually covered by the diaper.

Happynap Cream contains Benzalkonium and Zinc oxide. Benzalkonium is used as an antiseptic, disinfectant and antimicrobial preservative. It has antimicrobial properties against bacteria, fungi and viruses. It prevents skin infections. Zinc oxide is a mild antiseptic that works by forming a barrier on the skin to protect it from moisture and irritants. It is used as a protective coating for mild skin irritations and abrasions. Happynap Cream works by inhibiting the growth of infection-causing microbes.

Happynap Cream is for external use only. Happynap Cream has common side effects as every medicine does. These include local itchiness, redness and irritation at the application site. These side effects gradually resolve during the treatment and do not require medical attention. However, if you notice any allergic reactions and skin rash, please consult your doctor.

Let your doctor know if you are allergic to Benzalkonium or Zinc oxide. Let your doctor know if you have a history of liver, kidney diseases and skin infections before using Happynap Cream. Rash creams sometimes may contain additional preservatives that may make the skin sensitive to the sun. Please check the label for such warnings and ask your doctor to suggest you any precautions.

Uses of Happynap Cream

Treatment of Rashes due to diaper/nappy and tight clothing.

Medicinal Benefits

Happynap Cream contains Benzalkonium and Zinc oxide and is used to treat rash and skin irritations. Benzalkonium is an antiseptic, disinfectant and antimicrobial preservative. It shows antimicrobial action against bacteria, fungi and viruses. It helps in decreasing skin infections. On the other hand, Zinc oxide is a mild antiseptic. It is a mineral that treats diaper rash, chapped skin and skin irritations. When applied to the skin, it forms a barrier to protect it from moisture and irritants. Thus, it acts as a protective coating for mild skin irritations and abrasions.

Directions for Use

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Use mild soap while taking baths and prefer warm baths.

  • Avoid harsh products on your skin.

  • Do not scratch or pick your skin to avoid getting the affected area infected.

  • Manage stress, eat healthily, drink plenty of water, exercise regularly and get plenty of sleep.

  • Do not walk barefoot at places like gym showers to prevent contagious skin infections.

  • Change timely the diapers of your baby even if they are soiled or not to prevent any irritation on the baby's skin.

  • Avoid frequent use of diapers and use them only if they are required. Keep the area dry and clean. 

  • Check the diaper frequently if the baby has a rash and change it as soon as it is wet or soiled. 

  • It is advised not to use airtight rubber pants over the diaper area. Cloth-like disposable diapers promote better air circulation than plastic-type diapers and keep the area moist free.
