Although a picture of it would help to give more specific answers, generally speaking, yes you can apply sudocream on his cream twice daily for 48hours at least. If you do not notice any improvement a check up would be necessary though to determine underlying nature of the skin problem. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
