Trust & Pharmacist Advice
Itching can have many causes, including eczema, allergic reactions, insect bites and skin infections. While Eurax helps relieve itching, it is important to identify and treat the underlying cause whenever possible.
If you suspect scabies, everyone in the household or close contacts may also require treatment to help prevent reinfestation. Clothing, bedding and towels should be washed according to current healthcare guidance.
If itching persists for more than a few days, becomes widespread, is associated with fever, blistering, severe swelling or signs of infection, seek medical advice promptly.
