"Until I get official diagnosis ( they think it is Dermatitis Herpetiformis/coeliac rash) I’ve been using this cream on my rash and it calms the itch unbelievably. The steroid cream wasn’t helping but this is."

Eurax (crotamiton) "Despite wearing sun cream I burned my back and suffered from an awful itch which is a persistent, constant painful prickly itch. No matter what I do, nothing soothes it. Despite taking an antihistamine, it had only a little effect so I was unable to take any other medicine. After speaking to my local pharmacy it was suggested I tried Aloe Vera gel, that made my back unbearable and I was left close to tears. I rang another local pharmacy who advised this eurax gel, the first 10 minutes I thought oh no... same thing is happening it’s just going to irritate my skin even more. However, it has literally soothed my skin and is now my savour. It was so cheap as well! I would recommend this for any type of itch, in my experience it has relieved the itch and the pain and I couldn’t have asked for more."

Eurax (crotamiton) "Eurax is the best ever for itching of all types, I suffered for years with severe itching to my legs, back and arms. Any type of direct heat or heat from clothing etc. made matters worse. Long live the relief of EURAX."

"Crotamiton cream is very effective for the pruritis of poison ivy and chiggers, and mosquito bites compared to the standard topicals used."

Eurax (crotamiton) "I just read what the medicine was designed for. Surprised. I have used Eurax G for the past 20 years. I obtained two tubes of it while in Japan. I have found that it promotes healing of cuts, scratches, and other minor injuries faster than any other medicine I have tried. I have also used it effectively for small areas of poison ivy/sumac as well as other minor skin irritations. I do not have scabies nor ever had scabies. Maybe my experience applies only to me. But I can attest to it's effectiveness for ME. I must emphasize however that it is for Eurax "G". There are other letter categories for Eurax, but "G" works for me for the conditions I mentioned."
