"This ointment creates a very intense burning/stinging sensation difficult for me as an adult to tolerate. I suffered through the first application, the next day the second application was even more intense and I had to wash it off. PLEASE NEVER USE THIS PRODUCT ON A CHILD!!! The pain is too intense."

"My son has severe eczema and is only 17 months old. We had tried what seemed like every OTC and prescription Med out there and nothing helped. He would itch all night and get open sores from scratching. His face is constantly bleeding. The derm recommended this. We have only had it two days and it had been amazing. The cracked skin is now smooth and the crusted blisters have completely disappeared. He slept so good and doesn't seem miserable and itchy. So far we love it!"

"Don't try Eucrisa! In 3 days of use, my chronic itching has increased ten-fold 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 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!"

"Not only have I had eczema my whole life, but I’m allergic to a million things, and my allergic reactions cause extremely painful dermatitis all over my skin. Most topical medicines I’ve been allergic to, and steroids made it worse. Eucrisa works like magic for me. Clears rashes up overnight, gives so much pain relief, clears up any damaged skin. It does wonders. The catch: it stings, horribly, for around ten minutes. Putting this medicine on open/newly damaged skin is quite possibly one of the worse pains I’ve ever felt, and applying this medicine can bring me to tears sometimes. However, the good of this medicine does outweigh the bad, so the pain is simply something I live with."

"My 8 yr old daughter was prescribed Eucrisa by her pediatrician. 1st of all the price is ridiculous. Why? Secondly the burning sensation makes me feel awful about using it on her. Dr said to use it for no more than 2 weeks then come off for a week. But as soon as I take her off the flare on her face is right back. Sometimes worse than it was before. Been using it for 4 months now. Not seeing the results it states. Want to take her off and go back to hydrocortisone 2% ointment and lotion for her face and triamcinalone for her body. However I'm leary about how bad the flare will be while waiting for Eucrisa to leave her system. I don't think I'd recommend this med."

"If you're a masochist, this meds for you! Holy, hell-fire in a tube, Batman. What makes a skin condition even worse? This medicine. I couldn't tell you whether or not this prescribed torture in a tube worked because I discontinued it after 2 applications. I've never encountered a medicine that makes me want to punch people in the face as much as this stuff did. You want others to experience the agony along with you. My doctor did advise refrigerating it to help with the "discomfort". Yeah, lies all lies. I wasn't aware Pfizer was outsourcing the manufacturing of this cream from a fire pit!"

"Had a random eczema/dermatitis flare up on my upper left eyelid, right below my eye and my right upper lip (mustache area). Crazy itchy and looked awful. Dealt with it for about 6 months. Tried many different creams from amazon and even something my derm recommended. Ended up going back to my derm, and they recommended Eucrisa. Like others said it did burn a bit, (I used it sparingly) I just fanned the spots of application and the burn went away within about 5 mins. (Level 3 to 5 out of 10 pain) the next day morning I applied again and by the night time It already looked better. Put one more application on that night and the next day it was 80% better. The burning only occurred the first couple of times. Couldn’t be happier with the results. Literally tried so many different creams. Even carried some in my pocket to control redness and itch. If your having issues and nothing else is working, YOU MUST TRY THIS. I would recommend applying it in sections if you have bad pain."

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

"If you have eczema, you know all about the misery that comes with it. I tried oral steroids and xtra strength antibacterial ointments which worked until they were no longer in my system. I was able to try Eucrisa as a free trial. It's been a week and my skin is considerably less cracked. I haven't taken an antihistamine in about 3 days because the itching has almost subsided. And I've been able to actually sleep for the last 4 nights. There's some stinging but that has diminished with continued use. I'm not itching which means no scratching and a chance to actually heal. So far, I'm very thankful for a break from the headache & stress and for the sleep. Hope this is lasting though...can't pay $700 for the next tube."

"I've been using it less than a week and ( fingers crossed) it seems to be working well. Noticeable difference in my eczema areas. I will continue to use this as it seems to work better than anything else non steroid that I've tried. Hoping this will be a game changer for my skin and hope to get my son started on this too. Seems to be a great product so far."

"I was recommended to try the Eucrisa ointment by my dermatologist after suffering from severe eczema since birth. The cream stings a little as I apply it around my mouth but it seems to be working so far. I'm going to update my comment in a week and see what happens. I would say to give it a try. Just apply thin layer on face with caution."

"I have moderate eczema on my neck and chest. I've been on Eucrisa for about 3 days using it twice a day and I've noticed a difference and also a decrease in itching. Beware though, it burns for the first 5 minutes if there's any skin that's slightly raw. I was able to push through it and hopefully as time goes on, the burning will decrease."

"Moderate to severe eczema has haunted me for the past 30 years. I've used every ointment and cream available to some temporary success and steroids when the itching gets out of hand. Doc gave me Eucrisa a month ago that has proved to be a $700 false prophet. It clears up the rashes but not the itching. I look at my hands and think Wow! So clear! then scratch the smooth skin 'til the blood runs cold. Hope this is not true with everyone. I wouldn't wish this condition on my worst enemy....well, maybe with the exception of one or two!"

"I used it for 4 weeks and saw no improvement. I saw 15% improvement with hydrocortisone but only for a few weeks then it got worse. I used frankincense oil with vaseline for the same few weeks and it's now almost gone. Thanks for nothing eucrisa. Save your $700 and doctor visit and get you some frankincense oil. But it's also not cheap. Around $100 per bottle but a lot cheaper than the alternative"

"Eucrisa did not work at all, in fact, if 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 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."

"Oh my, oh my, oh my. So, I have eczema on my eyelids and around my mouth. I was lucky enough to get this cream as a sample from my Dr today. Imagine heating a butter knife with a blow torch until it is glowing orange, then gouging out your eyeballs with it. Comes close to the vomit inducing pain this cream provides. I made my husband try it because it was only fair....it did nothing AT ALL. Maybe it only burns if you have eczema idk. Not sure I can do this again."

"$739.00 dollars for 60 mg. tube. (About 2 oz,). What CEO needs a new jet or mansion? Our daughter has Down's syndrome and suffers from eczema. We would like to see if this works but our two insurances will not cover this outrageous cost."

"I've had horrible eczema around my eyes for over 10 years. Using steroid creams resulted in cataract surgery in my right eye, and also the constant rubbing increased my astigmatism. I was worried about permanent vision loss. Started using Eucrisa, and in two weeks have seen a dramatic improvement! The skin, for the first time in 10 years, is almost back to normal. The itching and oozing is almost gone. The trick is to use very small amounts of the cream and rub it in into the skin, especially in the most affected regions. There is some initial burning sensation, but even that has diminished as the skin heals. This medication is truly a godsend."

"This is an end all cure all for me. I have struggled with eczema my whole life. I had it really badly as a child but it came back worse as an adult. Two years ago, I got an eczema rash so bad on my face my eyes swelled shut with scales. I looked like a lizard. I tried steroid creams, lotions, literally anything recommended. Nothing worked. I went to the doctor and they gave me a test tube of Eucrisa. Within two days, all my eczema was gone. Anytime I get a flare up now, I just put a little bit on and it’s gone in a week tops. The only downside is the pain. I’m not going to lie, this stuff BURNS. It feels like your skin is on fire. It makes me cry every time. However, since my eczema is on my face I tolerate the pain. I’m not sure if a child could though."

"I tried eucrisa for 2 months on the palms of both hands. It cleared my skin completely and it stayed that way until month 3; then my eczema reappeared with a vengeance. For some reason eucrisa quit working for me."

"I have been dealing with eczema my whole life. The last few years have been really hard. I had a really bad flair up this winter. My allergist gave me samples of Eucrisa. At first it did not hurt when applied. Now when applied it stings like hot sauce. It has worked great on my face and fingers. However, my ENTIRE upper body is now covered in eczema. From my ribs to the top of my neck and down to my wrists is covered in the rash. It had spread to areas that I never used it on and my eczema want too bad on before. I am giving more than one star because it has worked on some of my skin. I just don't know if it is worth the risk to try it. I would suggest trying it for a long time in very small sections."

"I've had eczema my entire life. For as long as I can remember I've been itchy. You name it, I've tried it. From all natural remedies to every prescription cream, ointment, and pill. I've only been using this ointment for 2 days and I noticed a difference within hours. The itching is completely gone and my skin is noticeably softer (to me at least). I didn't have any irritation or pain on the affected sights. So far I'm very pleased. I'm using it as a free trial from my dermo, and her and I are both hoping it's a game changer that will soon be covered by insurance."

"I have mild atopic and have been using this ointment for over a week applying twice a day. Have felt less itchy however no changes on my skin has cleared up. Since I'm dark skin the spots are actually getting darker which is strange. Don't know what all the hype was with this drug but so far I am not impressed. Going to complete the treatment and post my verdict then."

"Great experience those far. I did have site pain but it did not last long. I have no idea what happens after 28 days do I stop using it all together? Not a lot of information out there. Also, it is very expensive close to $700 for 2 oz."

"I have always been prescribed a mild steroid for my facial eczema, so I was happy to try Eucrisa as a steroid free treatment for my face. The stinging and burning is so uncomfortable that I'm not sure the results are worth it for me. The medication does help calm down flare ups and reduce any itching but the pain for the first 5 min after application is so severe on my face that sometimes I have to just wash it off and try the next day. The site pain on the body is way more tolerable, and I do recommend it for that! Maybe my face is just too sensitive but I'm going to keep trying."
