Eczema & Psoriasis Cream for Dry and Itchy Skin - Seborrheic Dermatitis Face Cream - Soothing & Hydrating - Manuka Honey & Shea Butter - Psoriasis Relief for Adults & Kids (8oz)

SECOND UPDATE 8/13: I would definitely buy this again for the post herpatic neuralgia stage of shingles. I keep it in the fridge and it helps the skin heal and is very soothing. It seems to work well on the burning, itching, stinging in conjunction w my doctor ordered meds to help keep me comfortable.UPDATE FOLLOWS INITIAL REVIEW/8-7-18 First time shingles victim, here. As the saying goes, any port in the storm. I received the shingles cream post haste. It is creamy and smells ok in a funky sorta way. I am in the second week of this dread thing. I have some drying up on my back and some looking weird and brown on my brache da fore as we say in Italian, demurely. The nerve pain is a complete and utter b*tch, people. I want to say that no kinda cream will make this feel better. You need medical intervention and then maybe creams like this one I am reviewing later on. What works is a doctor who gives you medicine to calm the nerves (Elavil, Neurontin, etc. I am not a doctor so talk to yours) and opioid medicine to help with the sheer pain (because some of it is aching, throbbing which this kind of medicine helps). You might also need something for the sheer terror of the pain (and my shingles is supposedly mild. What a horrifying thought). Then, add in a cream for soothing the skin and you might survive this without crying. The first week there was a great deal of crying. I've only had this cream for a few days but what I can say is that it has not taken away the stinging, burning, aching, throbbing, itching, burning, tremendously painful burning at all. It does soothe the skin. This is helpful when you reach the stage of being able to actually touch your skin. A cheaper alternative, soothing and reminds you of your childhood which is kinda helpful--a time when sh*t like this was chicken pox and it itched but did not cause a death wish kind of burning is--CALAMINE LOTION. OMG yes. Yes Yes. Yes.Go get you a VAT of calamine lotion. To be fair, I am going to come back and update this review after I use this cream for more than three days. Right now I feel like I am still in the calamine lotion stage, but I can see how this stuff will come in handy when, as the doc puts it so grossly: you crust over. This is a virus. Lots of fluids, a good diet, and YOU MUST REST, REST, REST. You need to get your immune system back online to get rid of Shingles and keep it away. Rest. You absolutely need the direction of your doc for the course of shingles. Don't go it alone. I will return with an update after I give this cream a good chance.UPDATE: So I'm in week three of this Dread Horror. It's the Post Herpatic Neuralgia part--the pain lingers but the visual aspects are healing. Nice. I think this product is best suited for the end of the acute phase and all of the PHN part. Put it in the fridge and it is perfect for the symptoms on the wane. In addition, I feel it helping with the PHN pain. Its basically the same pain at the same intensity, so I dont know why it seems to help now and not earlier. I think it's because the overall sickness feeling is gone...not so feverish, flush, the flu like aspects have resolved. The cold cream is soothing, helps with the scabbing itchiness, too. It really helps to be healing the skin and keeping the itch at bay--which you want because the skin is delicate at this healing point. Originally, I was going to send this back, but I am now going to keep it. It was a good buy. I believe it will come in handy with other skin irritations such as mosquito bites and another possible outbreak. With immunosuppressant issues, one never knows. Good to have it handy. The 4oz size is a very generous amount, as well. I'm giving this four stars because it was not helpful for the acute phase, but very helpful for the waning phase and somewhat for the PHN. I'm still on medicine to address that. I would definitely buy it again, if need be. Not a waste of money at all. You will be glad to have it when it comes time to get your skin cleared up, moisturized, and healed without more issues of burning or damage to the skin by a product full of something that may cause stinging, burning, itching. This product brings relief--refrigerate it for best results! Good luck!

I have residual nerve pain from shingles that I had four years ago. I was hospitalized at that time as they were so extreme. The pain has been unbearable since then. I have used all sorts of lotions and creams that offered minimal comfort until I found this Shingles Treatment Cream. The first night I received it, I forgot to apply it. When the wracking pain awoke me, I got up, applied it, and slept the rest of the night with no pain!! It is like a miracle for me as I hadn't found any relief until this product. I have to apply it daily, but it works all day, giving me the relief I sought for four years. I highly recommend this cream from DermaChange. Thank you for giving me relief!!Update: I am now on my second jar (only now it is the 8 oz. jar) of Shingles Treatment Cream. It continues to give me much welcomed relief from this awful pain. Sometimes the pain hits me in the middle of the night and I just reach for my cream and get immediate relief, I hope none of you out there ever get the residual pain that I have. This has been going on since Jan. of 2013 and I have no hopes of it going away.2nd Update: I now use Organic Shingles Relief Cream religiously. The pain is still terrible, but when I apply the cream, it goes away. My sweet 92 year old mother applies it to my back, where I can't reach it, after every shower. I even have a small jar in my hospital bag to have when I am in the hospital, as they don't have it. The last time I was in the hospital, I was so happy to have my shingles cream. When the burning and stabbing pain started, I was able to apply it and get relief. I don't get anything from DermaChange for these reviews. I pay full price, with no compensation or discount.Sept. 2017 Update: I was recently in the hospital for 8 days, which caused me to miss my applications of my Shingles Cream.. Oh, my, did I miss it!! My back and under my left breast screamed out in pain. My back felt as if it were on fire. When I got home and finally had it applied, it burned even worse for the first few minutes. The second time it was applied, it still hurt initially, but not nearly as badly. By the third application, it was a great relief. I guess it had gotten so dried out that it took several applications for it to take full affect. It did show me one thing, I never want to be without it again. It is truly a miracle in a jar. Please don't increase the price as I am retired and living on a fixed income, but I must purchase your product. I'm so pleased I found it!!

Today I'm starting Week 5 of this shingles hell. If you have this horrible condition, or have had it, no words are needed to describe how excruciatingly painful this is and debilitating. The pain is constant, the itching unbearable. I have shingles on my right front and back torso. It robs you of your life for a whole block of time. Sought medical treatment the day the rash appeared. Dr gave me prescription for Valtrex, 5% Lidocaine and told me to take Advil. On Week 2, I sought the prescription they offered for 800 mg ibuprofen, took for four days and then broke out with a ghastly case of hives over the blistery shingles. I will never forget that week! Hives resolved with copious amounts of Benadryl, then was just left with the shingles rash. Tried everything to get some relief, lidocaine offered initial relief but then became irritating. Then, capzasin (made me see stars!), calamine lotion, lidocaine creme and roll-on, oatmeal baths, Uber Numb, several itch cremes, Benadryl gel. Then went on to home remedies, Virgin coconut oil (internal and topically), Turmeric tea and tea tree oil. Had great hopes for Bee Propolis mending salve....nothing. Finally found DermaChange Shingles Relief Cream....wish I could say like another reviewer that it gave me immediate relief, which is reason for only 4 stars. It is Day 3 using this DermaChange cream....easy and soothing to put on; relieves itch and pain for about a few hours. Then I'm back to tingling and pain until I put it on again. I must say that when I put it on, I get the most relief I've had than any of the above remedies, prescription or otherwise. I still cannot wear any shirts bc fabric irritates the front and back torso. I will continue to use this cream since it is the most soothing thing I've used thus far.
