Eucrisa (crisaborole) "I have been struggling with atopic dermatitis for at least 10 years. I have had patches on my forearms, thighs, hands, and my feet have been the worst since the beginning. There isn’t enough space to list all of the products and techniques I have tried to get things under control. I have been using Eucrisa for 3 days, and I can already see and feel an astounding improvement. It’s too early to tell if this product is the answer to my prayers, but what I see is promising. While I was warned about the possible burning issue, I can say that this far I have not felt any discomfort."

Eucrisa (crisaborole) "I am experiencing eczema or atopic dermatitis on my hands and eyelids. This is recent, just started this year. I’ve had one on the back of my lower scalp since 2004. I’m older, 58 years old now. But like I said, just this year I have had issues with my hands and eyelids. Eyelids are bothering me the most. My dermatologist recommended Eucrisa for both my hands after I used a steroid on them, plus for my eyelids. She also prescribed Eletone for my eyelids to use first. Eletone has parabens, and I’m allergic to them. So it hasn’t worked well. I went ahead and tried Eucrisa, which fortunately my insurance accepted. I still need to use more, but so far, so good. I was worried initially as it does sting and burn like hot sauce. But that only lasts about 10-15 minutes. I read up on it, and it seems to be a normal reaction and not an issue. My eyelids are feeling much better. Hopefully, inflammation will go away too. It says it can take up to 30 days. I’m going to give it a go!"

Eucrisa (crisaborole) "The worst thing ever! I would never recommend this to anyone. It made my symptoms so much worse and even spread across my face. It burned, itches, stings, and literally feels like my eyelids are on fire. Will never try this again."

Eucrisa (crisaborole) "First of all it pretty much made me confirm I had insurance which I thought was weird. It burned like crazy and it actually made my condition worse. Like it actually spread more across my face. My derm gave me a prescription for desonide which worked in a day, literally. This isn’t really worth it in my opinion, but everyone is different."

Eucrisa (crisaborole) "Ever since I was 9, I have had very extreme eczema, and I mean REALLY bad. I was born with light brown skin, but as I grew older, my arms and neck got darker and dry. When I used steroid ointment, my cracked skin would clear up for a couple of months, but soon it would be back to square 1. I just recently have been prescribed Eucrisa by my allergy doctor. Every time I use it, my skin would burn like crazy. I don't think I'll ever use this again."

Eucrisa (crisaborole) "I have a combination of chronic allergic hives (source unknown to this day) and eczema. I was in true misery for months with completely broken, red, hot, insanely itchy, burning skin before an allergist prescribed me Eucrisa. Within 20 minutes of my first use, my severely irritated skin felt calm enough to put clothing over. It’s the first and only product that worked for me to fade the rash and heal the broken skin, too. (Probably because it allowed me to stop scratching and let it heal.) Before I found Eucrisa, I was relying on steroid injections because oral weren’t touching the issue. So thankful I found this product."

Eucrisa (crisaborole) "I have been using Eucrisa for 2 years, but I am giving up on it. I stopped using it on my face a month ago. Eucrisa seems to do nothing. My face is actually better off without using it. I was blending it in with my moisturizer to use on my face and neck every day, but a few hours afterward my face and neck were always getting very red. I am less red overall when I don't use it. It didn't burn much at all, but it doesn't work."

Eucrisa (crisaborole) "I've had eczema my whole life, and nothing has worked like Eucrisa. I get eczema really bad on and around my mouth, so my doctor gave me some sample tubes. Yes, it does burn for the first few applications or if I miss a few days of using it. The only reason it burns is because the skin is raw or broken. The more you use Eucrisa, the less it burns."

Eucrisa (crisaborole) "This cream 2% did not work for me at all. The cost of this cream is $75, insurance won’t cover it. This is a totally useless cream after using it for 6 months. I wonder how they got FDA approval. FDA should investigate what people say about this useless cream. Do dermatologists get monetary benefits from this company? I believe so."

Eucrisa (crisaborole) "I have had horrible psoriasis for over 5 years on my hands. I have tried every steroid cream to no avail. The psoriasis covered the palms of both of my hands and was very painful, with constant fissures. Within 1 day of using Eucrisa, there was a noticeable difference. I have now been using it for a week, and I feel like a new person. I have experienced no stinging or pain, and the results are a miracle. This is the first time I have seen any improvement with a treatment for my psoriasis."

Eucrisa (crisaborole) "I started using this 3 days ago for what I have been told is eczema on my face. The first time I used it my face got itchy beyond belief. I was actually looking forward to a sensation other than being itchy all the time. The sensation of burning, stinging sounded good for a change. I guess it's too soon to really rate it, but so far my skin is smooth but it still itches."

Eucrisa (crisaborole) "I tried this for a small patch or eczema on my face. It felt okay at first so I later put it all over my face. Next morning I woke up with my face burning and hives all over. It was awful! It then lead to months on end of contact dermatitis and near a year later I still am dealing with some mild skin issues. "

Eucrisa (crisaborole) "Today is the first time I am using it, the first time I put it on my face thick like I used to do with triamcinolone but that stung so bad I had to run and wash it off. After reading these reviews I decided to give it another shot but this time I applied the thinnest layer possible and it didn't sting at all, so I'm happy so far."

Eucrisa (crisaborole) "My doctor put me on Eucrisa for a month, and my dermatitis pretty much went away on day 3. I have been using it for 33 days, and I asked the pharmacist why you can only use it for 30 days. She told me you have to take a week or so off, cause it stops working after 30 days."

Eucrisa (crisaborole) "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."

Eucrisa (crisaborole) "Don’t use an expensive med and support big pharma. Try a cream with a high zinc content, like desitin instead. It works fast, no burning, no side effects, no big copays, no prescription needed. They told me my son had ‘chicken pox’ because his eczema was so bad. He already had the vaccine. It didn’t look anything like chicken pox. Someone said put desitin on it, it was gone in a day or two."

Eucrisa (crisaborole) "Does not work. I've had eczema for 45 years. Had great success with Synlar when it was made by original company for 20 years. Once sold the formula changed I guess and it stopped working. Been using Cloderm for 3 years successfully. Dermatologist gave me samples if Eucrisa a week ago. It does not burn. My eczema itches non stop and a week later and is spreading. I will go back to Cloderm."

Eucrisa (crisaborole) "I have had a painful inflammatory skin condition on my face for 8 years now that had been diagnosed as shingles, adult acne, or dermatitis herpetiform. No one was sure what it was. The condition was painful, bled frequently, was swollen, had a burning sensation, and left scars as the lesions healed. My doctor got some samples of Eucrisa and gave one to me to try. The result has been nothing short of amazing. Within 24 hrs. of the first application, the lesions have begun to heal, the swelling, redness, and pain have been greatly reduced. Previously, I had used antibiotics and every kind of ointment available to no avail. The only thing I noticed was a burning sensation when it was applied, which went away in about a half hour on the first application. It did not burn with subsequent applications. This is nothing short of a miracle."

Eucrisa (crisaborole) "Over the past 30-60 days using Eucrisa on my face (mild eczema) and upper back (notalgia paresthetica). Itching decreased noticeably within a couple of weeks, the moderate burning subsided and disappeared after two weeks, and the scaly patch on my forehead has disappeared, but I continue to have some scaly skin at the brow patch. All positive. Now for the negative-could be coincidence, but I have noticed some welty, itchy bumps lately where I apply it to my back. But my gut is telling me there is a relationship. I wonder if the intense burning with application is from applying too much. Just a thought from somebody who has had long-term mild eczema."

Eucrisa (crisaborole) "I’ve had eczema on my face for about 11 years now. The doctor prescribed steroid creams and pills, which had their drawbacks. So they decided to give me Eucrisa, and in all honesty, it helped. It stings a lot on even just the smallest cuts from light scratching, but it helps. Try to mix it with Vaseline to dilute it (stinging) and to help moisturize your skin. It sucks to have eczema, especially on the face because it's exposed to constant environmental change. So it flares up the most for me during weather changes."

Eucrisa (crisaborole) "I was born with eczema, so I’ve been trying things for 23 years. When prescribed Eucrisa, I was excited to think a non-steroid cream may help. But this cream is the greasiest and feels like acid is being poured on my face. I’ve never felt such excruciating pain in my life (and in the past, I’ve literally had my skin scraped off with a scalpel for samples). I couldn’t handle it. It dried my skin out and left me greasy as can be. Not worth it."

Eucrisa (crisaborole) "My daughter was prescribed this medication for very dry, red patches on her face. After a few days of use, her face was covered with acne, and she felt burning and rawness on her face. Her face became even more red than it was initially! Once she stopped using the ointment, it calmed down. We won’t be using this anymore. Back to the drawing board ☹️"

Eucrisa (crisaborole) "It does almost nothing to help my severe total body eczema. I blend it in with vanicream moisturizer. It burns a little bit briefly on the face, but at least Eucrisa is better than nothing at all. It's mostly something to use on days when I must take a break from using steroids."
