FAQs
What is Lanacane used for?
Lanacane products are commonly chosen for everyday skin discomfort, including friction-related chafing and localised itching linked to minor irritation such as bites or rashes. Always check the product label to ensure it matches your symptoms.
Which Lanacane product should I choose for chafing?
For discomfort caused by rubbing (for example thighs, underarms, or footwear friction), an anti-chafing barrier gel is usually the most suitable format. Apply to clean, dry skin as directed and reapply if needed.
When is Lanacane medicated cream a better option?
If the main issue is itch from an insect bite/sting or minor skin irritation, a medicated cream may be more appropriate. Use only on the areas recommended on the packaging and follow all warnings.
How long can I use Lanacane products for?
Use for the shortest time needed and follow the leaflet instructions. If symptoms don’t improve, keep returning, or you feel you need to use the product for longer than the pack guidance, speak to a pharmacist or your GP.
Can I use Lanacane on broken, sore, or infected skin?
Do not apply to broken, weeping, or infected skin unless the leaflet specifically says it is suitable. If the area is hot, very painful, swollen, oozing, or looks infected, speak to a pharmacist or contact your GP/NHS 111.
Is Lanacane suitable for children, pregnancy, or breastfeeding?
Suitability depends on the product and ingredients. Read the pack instructions carefully and, if you’re unsure (especially for children or during pregnancy/breastfeeding), ask a pharmacist before use.
