Eurax contains Crotamiton.
Crotamiton is a cream that relieves itching from many causes and helps treat scabies. It is gentle on the skin and has a cooling feel.
For scabies, it is not as strong as permethrin, so it is usually used when permethrin is not suitable, or to soothe itching that lasts after scabies treatment.
What is it used for?
- Itching from insect bites, rashes and other skin problems
- Scabies, when other treatments are not suitable
- Itching that continues after scabies treatment
How does it work?
Crotamiton kills scabies mites and also has a soothing effect on the skin that reduces the urge to scratch.
