For Atopic Dermatitis "Please read to the end, it may work this way. I received samples of Eucrisa from my primary care provider for my eczema around my mouth (dry, discolored, scaly). I was very excited to get started, I immediately applied it once home. BURNED... No other word could do it justice. BURNED. I tried to wait it out, I have a high tolerance for things I want. I couldn’t take it, I had to wash it off. The next day, determined to make this work, I applied a thin layer of Aquaphor to and around my lips, then a thin but decent amount of Eucrisa. About a minute in is when I started to feel the start of a burn. It burned, but nowhere near as much as the night before (I also used a handheld fan for about 10 minutes and no more burning). I’m now sitting with Eucrisa and no Aquaphor on day 3 with minor tingling. I believe my skin is healing, and that is why I’m not experiencing the raging fire feeling. Try the Aquaphor under the Eucrisa, guys."

For Atopic Dermatitis "I have had atopic dermatitis my whole life since I was 10 months old, going on 55 years living with this awful condition. I've been on everything from prednisone for 2 years straight to cyclosporine to methotrexate... heavy-duty stuff... I now have lupus and arthritis, so going to give this a shot, but apprehensive. I put it on at 9:53, after about 3 minutes notice, a little tingle, nothing too uncomfortable. I mean, what's worse, the pain of the condition day in and day out vs. if something actually works. Will post in a couple of days... also thinking about Dupixent next."

For Atopic Dermatitis "I have struggled with perioral dermatitis for almost 10 years. I’ve seen countless dermatologists, and no one would ever get it right. The diagnosis was always different. None of the medicine that was prescribed worked until my GP (brilliant woman) told me a name and Eucrisa. She told me that some doctors were hesitant to prescribe it because some insurance companies won’t cover it... meaning it was expensive. I told her that at this point I’d like to try it and pray my insurance would cover most of the cost. Lo and behold, it was covered, and finally, after many, many years of red, inflamed, cracked skin, it was beginning to heal! I recommend this cream to anyone who’s currently struggling with contact dermatitis and/or eczema as well. My sister contacted their pediatrician, and it has helped fade away all signs of the eczema on her arms. I will admit there’s a slight tingle/burn sensation for a few seconds, but it’s absolutely worth it."

For Atopic Dermatitis "I was prescribed Eucrisa after I’ve struggled with large, itchy welts all over my arms, legs, and stomach, many of which are likely the result of a bug bite or allergen. I received an allergy scratch test as well as a patch test, where I discovered I was allergic to the Triamcinolone cream as well as all the hydrocortisone creams I’d been using to fix my itchy skin and hives. I’ve used a full 60 mg Eucrisa tube, and I have not seen it make much of a difference. When I apply the medication, it burns slightly and then becomes more itchy or tingly, like when your legs fall asleep. I have had better luck treating with alcohol to clean any irritants from my skin and applying Neosporin with pain relief to help relieve some irritation."

For Atopic Dermatitis "My dermatologist recommended Eucrisa for my eczema on my face. I tried for four nights to use this, and I’m done. The burning and tingling sensation is unbearable! Thank goodness I tried the sample first before spending $40. I can’t imagine using this on my children!"

For Atopic Dermatitis "So far, so good. I’m a 40-year-old male. I have suffered from mild to moderate facial eczema for about five years, and nothing really helped besides the occasional application of hydrocortisone. I obviously want to avoid the skin thinning and addictive side effects of steroid creams or pills, so Eucrisa gave me hope. I’ve been using it twice a day for six days, and my facial redness and bumps are greatly reduced. I can’t relate to any of the complaints of severe burning I’ve read on here. In my experience, the “burning,” or more appropriately, the tingle, feels way milder than that of Ben Gay or Icy Hot. The only drawback for me is that its Vaseline-like texture makes it challenging for me to wear even a thin layer for work because of the extreme shine. I’m hoping they make a less heavy and shiny formula for the face in the future. If you’ve tried everything else like me, Eucrisa is most definitely worth a try."
