"Two applications and my skin felt and Looked better than it had in 10 years. Only thing that ever helped before was high doses of prednisone. Praying It continues to work. Priceless product..Been to numerous dermatologists and had numerous prescriptions. None of them ever even touched it. God bless this project."

"Guys, do NOT use this medication. The last time I had an ointment that burned like this, it was found to be a carcinogen two years later. Find a medicine that's been on the market for a LONG time (I use a combo of Desonide and Triamcinolone) that doesn't cost an arm and a leg."

"So I’ve had eczema problems my whole life and I had gotten “rid” of it for some time and then I had flare ups on my eyelids and it was bad I looked like a monster as it spread. I used the sample size of this stuff and it burned so bad (which I was warned of) I didn’t know if it was worth it but then it was. It was completely gone in a week and the better my condition the less it burned until not at all 100% would recommend it works too well:)"

"I moved to Houston during an especially high pollen season. For about a month I woke up with varying degrees of swollen eyes ranging from slight swelling to eyes completely sealed shut. I don’t think I actually had eczema as there was no rash, just extreme swelling and dry skin. I was too scared to use steroids on my face and did take oral steroids for a week but once off them the swelling returned. I was prescribed eucrisa and am currently on day 2 of using the sample tubes. The burning is pretty bad but my doctor gave me free samples of a moisturizing lotion and ointment to mix with eucrisa to soften the pain. Within hours of using it my swelling went down and I have woken up for 2 days in a row with no swelling at all. I just hope my body doesn’t reject it in the future, and that it’s safe to use throughout the remaining pollen season (another whole month)."

"I have eczema all over my face so I use eucrisa over it and all it does is make my face red after I apply it and burns so badly. It honestly feels like my face is legit on a hot stove and I can’t move my face from it. I still have to use it though because my dermatologist won’t answer my calls because it’s closed currently and they always schedule it from so long from the day I schedule and when they do choose a day they do it on a week day when I have school and I can’t miss days because I need credits for high school. I thought eucrisa was going to help but clearly it doesn’t because the next day my eczema comes back and I’ve been using eucrisa for months now. It burns so badly that it makes me cry for like 15 minutes straight and it makes my face hurt so badly I can’t focus in school and it’s affecting my grades. Eczema hurts and makes me feel ugly and I wish it would stop. "

"I have severe dyshidrosis eczema on my hands. I have used Clobetesol for years, but my insurance company decided it would no longer pay for it. So my doctor prescribed Eucrisa. My insurance actually agreed to pay $750.00 for a 60g tube of this. (Even though clobetesol is half the cost.) There was some pretty intense burning initially, but it only lasted a few minutes. I'm on day 4 of treatment and my hands are almost completely clear. They haven't been clear in almost 6 years!!!! No other medication has EVER worked as well as this does. I'm amazed! Still - it's so expensive that only people with good insurance can afford it. My co-pay was $40.00. And even though that's pricey for a tube of ointment, it's worth it!"

"As others have experienced, when applied to the face this feels like acid. Perhaps because the skin is more sensitive here, the pain lasts about half an hour. After using daily for a few weeks it hurts less, or it is quite possible my pain tolerance has increased...but the presumed areas of eczema haven't shown improvement. For this level of pain I was expecting a better return. I'm giving it a full month though to work its magic."

"Don't try this! I've been battling atopic dermatitis/eczema for 30 years and Eucrisa is the WORST treatment I've ever tried. I put it on my face and it burned with the most excruciatingly deep pain you can ever imagine. I can't describe how horrific it was, like a horror movie. I was screaming and crying but there was no way to wash it off (actually I wanted to claw my face off) and it took a while before the pain went away. I looked online and found other similar experiences. I can't believe they let this ointment on the market and that all these doctors are pushing it. Shame on you!"

"After trying every OTC and most RX was finally given very expensive Eucrisa. Eczema was all over face, red and inflamed. This was ongoing for two months. Area around lips and eyes were also very bad with itching and scaling. After using this cream for less than a week, symptoms started to leave. Within three weeks, the entire face was clear. Unbelievable. Was so happy to find this."

"I have suffered with moderate eczema for 25 years mainly on my hands.I’m 39 female.I used steroid creams & ointments daily for 25 years.The steroid creams have eaten away my skin over the years. I have tried everything over the years to help relieve my eczema. The steroids have only reduced symptoms. My hands constantly had blisters, skin peeling off, cracks, swollen areas, bleeding and hurt. They always hurt and ached and itched. The itching kept me from sleeping. It’s caused me anxiety & depression & made me miserable until I had a friend give me a sample of Eucrisa. The Eucrisa stopped the itching immediately .Blisters starting drying up after 1 application & my cracks starting to heal. No stinging or burning when the Eucrisa was applied, unlike the steroid creams. In 4 days my hands were completely healed for 1st time in 20+ years. I am so thankful. Bought a tube - best $70 I ever spent!! I catch myself staring at my hands all the time. I forgot what they used to look like! Eucrisa changed my life!!"

"Have only used this for a few days but I plan on continuing to use it for the next few months. Will give another update at that point. This drug has cleared up the eczema on my face and neck that was honestly quite severe before using the treatment. I have been using it for three days and it is probably 90% cleared. YES IT DOES BURN. I have found that the burning has become much less intense by day three. I think part of that has to do with the fact that my skin is much less irritated and inflamed than when I originally applied. Like I said I will update the long term efficacy in a few months."

"I tried steroid creams for years and my dermatitis just stayed the same. My dermatologist gave me samples of Eucrisa and overnight, I felt so much relief! I swear by this stuff. I actually look forward to putting it on. Yes, it burns but for me, it is slight and temporary. It almost burns the itch out. I highly recommend that if you have eczema on your hands (I can't speak to any other part of the body) give this a try! It's unscented, slightly greasy, and almost feels moisturizing once it starts to absorb."

"Well it burned a little bit at first on my first day I used it & after that no more burning but a lot of itching. I'm glad my dr had samples he gave to me before I spent a $100 on the tiny tube & waste my money. How does this drug company expect a tiny tube that's very expensive to treat atopic dermatitis which covers a person's whole body? Also don't they realise that us people with this skin disease are not millionaires? Most of us are middle class or hard working blue color workers working 2 or 3 jobs just to pay our bills & put food on the table. It's not our fault that we got this disease. We never asked for it. So why are they charging so much? Anyway I'm not crazy about the price or the itching it causes me after I put it on."

"For 13-14 years I’ve had eczema which ranges I’m severeness from time to time. Dr prescribed this ointment and despite the severe burning and what it it cost, I still kept it on because my skin was so bad at that moment. Whole neck was covered in rashes and my face had big spots of rashes and redness all over. I was desperate. I put it on at night and it felt like my skin was being ripped off. Almost one of the worst types of ointments I tried, but it’s possible to deal with it if you have a fan blasting at your face. Next morning I took a shower...and oh my gosh all my dead skin peeled off. Somewhat gross but satisfying (?) by the span of 2 days. I got to say, this is the best condition my skin has ever been. MY NECK IS AS SOFT AS A BABYS BUTT."

"After a year of trying everything from steroids, using natural remedies, and getting allergy tested for my skin, I finally gave in and purchased Eucrisa (my cost $100). I had read the reviews on here the day before I picked up my prescription and I was incredibly worried that I would use it and it would burn my face as badly as the others described. For me it does burn, but not my entire face just random parts of my skin burn and it does go away within a few minutes. I have a high tolerance for pain so I’m able to withstand the burn, but it doesn’t feel great. The positive is my skin was so much better by the morning! I still have some dry spots but my skin looks so much better then it did. My goal is to get my skin completely clear then only use Eucrisa as needed."

"I had horrible eczema starting from birth all over my body, treated with blood transfusions, many many years of prednisone, limited diets and all possible naturopathies. I struggled as a girl with this till when I was 27, saw a miracle doctor who said it will go away if I move as far as possible from where I lived then. I moved and my skin was normal within the first month of living here in US. I am 55 now and started to have one small spot near my ear, used Eucrisa for 3 days and its gone. Just wanted to share with all who have this lifelong struggle that there is hope and cure."

"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 have 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."

"I've had eczema since I was a child and her I am now 41 yrs old and my new dermatologist gave me a sample of Eucrisa. I can only speak for myself and I see what others have dealt with on this site. Let me start by saying I used aquaphor and cetaphil for years and Vaseline and wrapped my skin with plastic to keep it moisturized. I saw my derm on Monday 4/29/19 and 4 days later 5/3/2019 it has cleared up tremendously no itching the color is coming back to normal. I highly recommend this product I have brown skin and the patched were dark to the point I do not show my legs but this summer I will be showing leg leg and more leg. lol I am sure my insurance would cover this medication but he gave me some samples and I am truly blessed."

"I was able to get eucrisa for $35 for a full 60 Gram tube...I was temporarily on Elidel which seem to help my frequent flare ups on my hands calm down.. it seems my exczema has gotten so much worse with a eucrisa. I have rash like bumps all over my hands intense itching and pain to the point where I don't even want to go to work and they felt like they were on fire.. I didn't know what to put on my hands to stop the intense itching so I went back to applying my sons triamcinolone cream to my hand and the pain went away within a half an hour . I'm really unsure if I want to continue using the eucrisa I have not noticed any Improvement in my skin I've been on it twice a day for at least a week"

"This cream not only caused me pain but it caused my eczema to itch 100xs more. It also dried my skin up to the point were my skin would crack and start to peel. I'm disappointed not only because it cost me $70 but because I was excited for a new solution to my eczema that didn't require steroids."

"After being diagnosed with a topical dermatitis, I was prescribed Eucrisa. It appeared to have worked after 2-3 days but then the breakouts got worse. More bumps, rash and itching. Continued for 2 weeks it’s worse. Used the entire tube. Paid $30 after insurance coverage but it’s not effective for my issue."

"This drug is AMAZING! I've struggled with dermatitis triggered by soap (shampoo, hand soap, dish soap, etc.) and no matter how much I avoid soap, I still have remaining patches of dry, flakey, irritated/ painful red areas on my face near my mouth and eyes. I read the reviews and was hesitant to try Eucrisa but was desperate. I was afraid it would burn, but rather, it stung lightly, and while initially uncomfortable, the stinging went away fairly quickly. My plan was to only apply a very small amount (like patch testing) before jumping in to applying to the whole area. But once I realized it was minimal stinging, I started applying all over. And I'm seeing results quickly- the painful swelling and flaking is reducing already, after only a few days. I am blessed to have insurance to cover this but after the years of pain and struggling, I would definitely pay out of pocket for this. I highly recommend trying it."

"My daughter recently has red , dry , itching symptoms on her face. I bought all kinds cream/face. None of them really works. I used the sample Eucrisa, it burns her eyelid, face, but she feels better after 10 minutes, we used ice cube to help her pain. But all the pain is worth it, today is 5th days, her face looks much better. I am so happy with the results. We will keep use it until face is back to normal. Oh, last thing, now the pain is much less."

"My daughter is 6 years old and has suffered from eczema since she was a baby. We were constantly cycling through steroid creams and lotions. Our pediatrician prescribed Eucrisa. At first, my daughters eczema became much worse. She had new, angry red patches all over her legs. We went back to a steroid cream followed by Eucrisa and aquafor. After 3 weeks, her legs and arms are clear. We have been able to avoid steroids by continued use of Eucrisa followed by a moisturizing lotion. Unfortunately, my daughter has started experiencing break outs on her face and eyes. We have tried Eucrisa, but the pain is unbearable - 20 minutes of unrelenting screaming. In our experience, this product is fantastic for arms and legs, however the side effect of burning makes it impossible to treat facial eczema."

"In March my 2 year-old gets eczema terribly either in the diaper region or all over his body but this time he got it on his face and we've tried everything and I'm pregnant right now so I can't use the steroid cream that we usually use and you shouldn't use a steroid cream on your face. Doctor gave me this prescription since its steroid free. it's lightened up and it's not as red and he's not itching. His face does look a little scary but I think it's just his face is healing so I think it's working it's just I want instant results. My doctor also gave me a savings card from the pharmaceutical company and now my copay is $35 so ask your if they have the card. Because before that it was going to cost me $300."
