Eurax Reviews
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. Also tried Malathion and to regularly visit 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."
For Pruritus "Eurax is the best ever for itching of all types, I suffered for years with severe itching to 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 "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 ever had scabies. Maybe my experience applies only to me. But I can attest to it's 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."
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 tried 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 savour. 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."
For Pruritus "I use this cream when my eczema flairs up its a great help to relieve itching i use it a lot and dont know what id do without it."
For Pruritus "I have been recommending Eurax for pruritus and always have a positive result feedback."
For Pruritus "I have used eurax with magical effect for itching of chilblanes. Nothing else seemed to work till i tried eurax to at least stop the itch. It made the swelling go away as well."
