Crotamiton topical "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."

"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 "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 "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 "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."
