Crotamiton topical for Scabies "This cream has not eliminated my scabies, but it is the only cream (together with Kleen Green) that helps me maintain control and function without itching. Permethrin worked the first time but not when the scabies returned the second time. I also tried Malathion and regularly visited the swimming pool (chlorine wash) without effect. Natural remedies like mustard, vinegar + eucalyptus/tea tree/clove, and neem oil have had limited effect. There might be an effective combination at hand, but I haven't been able to work it out. When perusing academic articles, scabies appears under-researched and permethrin overrated."

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

For Pruritus "Until I get an 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."

Crotamiton topical for Pruritus "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 have I ever had scabies. Maybe my experience applies only to me. But I can attest to its 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."

Crotamiton topical for Pruritus "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 try 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 savior. 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."

Crotamiton topical for Pruritus "I have used Eurax with magical effect for itching of chilblains. Nothing else seemed to work till I tried Eurax to at least stop the itch. It made the swelling go away as well."
