For Atopic Dermatitis "This medicine caused me to break out worse than I have in 10+ years. I had very small patches I was trying to clear up, and now my entire arms, legs, and hands are swollen, puffy, and covered in rashes."

For Atopic Dermatitis "Don't try Eucrisa! In 3 days of use, my chronic itching has increased tenfold and has spread to parts of my body that previously were never a problem. It is all because I went to a new dermatologist last week who prescribed the Eucrisa and gave me two small sample tubes. After Day One, the backs of my thighs appeared to be healing. Day Two, I noticed a more subtle itching and a strange rash on my back, stomach, and buttocks. Day Three, I'm crawling with itchiness over my entire body. Is this a sick joke to give someone with intense chronic itching a medication that makes it worse!"

For Atopic Dermatitis "Have eczema on the palms of my hands. Eucrisa works well. My doctor recommended using it for 3 months. After a few days, I developed a rash on the topside of my hands. It looked like poison ivy. And it would not go away until I stopped Eucrisa. The eczema on my palms came back within a few days after stopping Eucrisa."

For Atopic Dermatitis "Literally feels like someone is burning your skin off when you apply. Was using it only on my body and just suffering through the application because it did help slightly in the beginning. Tried it on my eyelids once (supposedly is safe for around the eyes) and woke up with red and swollen eyes for about 3 days. Was desperate again yesterday for relief on the insides of my elbows, so used it again, and now I have hives all over my body and even my face, although I didn’t apply it to my face this time. Can’t say for sure this is the cause, but it’s the only common denominator I can think of. Don’t waste your money, not worth the pain you will endure."

For Atopic Dermatitis "I tried this for a small patch of eczema on my face. It felt okay at first, so I later put it all over my face. The next morning, I woke up with my face burning and hives all over. It was awful! It then led to months on end of contact dermatitis, and nearly a year later, I still am dealing with some mild skin issues."

For Atopic Dermatitis "My doctor prescribed this to me for really bad eczema flare-ups on my face, they just told me to use it twice a day. As soon as I got in the car, I applied it, that was the worst burning sensation I have ever felt. After the burning settled down, I had red spots on my face, but my eczema somewhat cleared up. I’m not sure about how I feel about the product yet."

For Atopic Dermatitis "It burns like fire!! Have to apply it around my eyes, and I almost screamed, so put a cooling gel pad on it, and after 3 (very long) minutes, the pain was gone. But I have been having rashes around my eyes for 10 years, so that skin is less than thin! So I am giving this a try... need to wait a couple of days to see if this helps..."

For Atopic Dermatitis "I started getting a rash on my cheeks, upper lip, and chin that looked terrible and embarrassed me enough to stay home. If I grew a full beard to try and hide it, it made the rash worse. I can't shave, nor can I grow a beard. The doctor gave me 2 RXs, one being Eucrisa. Within 2 minutes of application, my face is burning enough to make my eyes water. 10-15 minutes later, the burning goes away. Going on the 3rd day, and the rash does look 40% better, but it's not worth going through the burning sensation after the application of the medication."

For Atopic Dermatitis "Horrible experience. Had mild redness on my cheeks after using this cream. My face was a brighter red. I had hives and a bad reaction. Will never use this product again."

For Atopic Dermatitis "Eucrisa did not work at all, in fact, it made my skin a lot worse. I broke out in a horrible rash, as did the only other person I knew who had been given this from their dermatologist for eczema, like I was. It burns and leaves the skin worse than when it started. I do not understand how it is marketed as a miracle fix for eczema. I now understand why my insurance did not want to pay for this."
