Elora cream for sweat rash.

Has anyone tried the Elora cream that I am always seeing advertised on social media?

I use Daktacort, as suggested by my GP, when I get a sweat rash under my breasts in hot weather. The pharmacist says not to use it too much as it contains hydrocortisone.

I don't want to buy an expensive cream if it doesn't work and we all know that the glowing reviews on the ads are not to be believed.

I'm still using a big pot of DGD's Sudocrem - her "cweem"!

It's a pity talcum powder has had a bad reputation since the Johnson's baby powder case. I must look into what's out there now and whether I dare use it.

I recently had to go for patch tests in my local hospital Dermatology department and whilst there asked the dermatologist about treating under the breast sweat rash and she said antiseptic powder - ie: Cuticura, it's what I now use and it's very soothing and the awful rashes have gone.

I haven't seen any ads for Elora but have stumbled on Healora cream which gets good reviews on Trust Pilot - must investigate further. Elora might be a Chinese dodgy copycat.

Ha! Delving deeper into Trust Pilot's Healora report the negative reviews claim it is supplied from China and doesn't work.

That's 10 minutes I'll never get back!

I suffer with heat rash and have had various over the counter and prescription creams. Tremovate was amazing but is prescription only. I asked at the pharmacy and he said I could buy over the counter 'Eumovate'. It really has been good for me and all last week I was fine in the heat

Yes Totallylost The negative reviews seem damning. I now have to find out how trustworthy Trustpilot is! My head hurts. I think I'll abandon the search. smile

Top bits are not very well endowed but I wear a lightweight sleep bra at night so the over hang doesn't over hang greatly if you see what I mean. I agree its really important to wash and dry really well and a bit of sudocreme.

I also don't wear bras with wire or tight or fasteners with itchy bits. Look at Sloggi or google "Body by M&S
Flexifit™ Non Wired Crop Top (F+)"

Prescription only medication Canestan was recommended by the nurse who did my last mammogram. Didn’t realise that so many of us suffer.

I have seen several different names for what looks like the same product.
I am always sceptical about online reviews as I know that people are paid to write glowing reports. I have submitted truthful reviews that have been removed.
This is why I am asking here.

Try the Medicure body powder, £2.60 on Amazon it’s good stuff. I powder then put the sweat pads in and good for a day.

Thanks Geraldine.

I have some under bra sweat bands that I got from "Small Green Stitchery" at Etsy. They are a game changer. They have made such a difference.

I as plagued by a heat rash under my breasts and at the top of my legs, tried everything even antifungal medication prescribed by the GP. Nothing worked. Then I succumbed to a Facebook advert and I am so glad I did. It was for a product sold by Undercare. It works. It is not cheap, around about £16 per tube when I bought it but you don't need too much on each application. It takes a little while to arrive and you have to be careful to untick the subscription box. The tube says Healora Intertrigo Relief Cream. I was so pleased with it I've bought two spare tubes.

You can get talc free Body Powder. I got some Cotton Tree brand and it’s very nice. It comes in a pink container. I think I bought mine in Savers or Superdrug.

Best ever cream as recommended by trusted pharmacist and very inexpensive Clotrimazol 1%

Cleared up a widespread severe rash overnight

Thanks very much for this suggestion. I have just bought some on Etsy.

I've got some sweat bands and am trying them out today.

Thank you, Primrose smile

I have spoken to somebody who ordered the cream from Eloracircle.com. They have been told that the items are in transit from China a week after ordering. This is despite the website saying 2 to 4 days for delivery.

The cheap bra sweatpads from Amazon improve things and it's easier to change them than to keep changing bra.

I use old fashioned calamine lotion dabbed on. Seems to help. I used this when I had shingles too.
