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

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.

Thank you, Primrose smile

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

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.

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

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

Cleared up a widespread severe rash overnight

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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

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+)"

Nell82 Sun 28-Jun-26 23:46:47

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

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

I’ve just had a look on trust pilot, is this the one you mean :
uk.trustpilot.com/review/healora.com

Nell82 Sun 28-Jun-26 19:11:18

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 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.

When it gets really sore Canestan 2% works wonders. Otherwise Sudocreme is excellent. I also use a strong antiperspirant roll on under boobs and overhang tum which really helps. (Revlon Mitchum Women Triple Odor Defense 48HR Protection Deodorant Stick and Antiperspirant). Sweat pads from Amazon are good too.

yes, Canestan is excellent. My husband’s right arm is now unable to move following a stroke. He got an awful sweat rash in his arm pit as it was always in one position and got no air. Canestan very quickly sorted it out!

I use Medipure or curvature powder under my boobs . You can buy both of these in savers fairly cheaply

Oops, give the pads from Amazon a go I meant to say!

I use Medipure body powder and breast sweat pads which i bought off Amazon, the combination works perfectly, only been using breast sweat pads for 3 weeks and they really work.
I’ve tried Dacktacort, Sudocrem and they eased the soreness, but the breast pads and body powder keep everything dry.
An added bonus is the pads are washable.
It works for me, try it.

I have been using Boots medicated talc and also the hanky folded under the breasts. Limited success really for me. I think I will give the pads you mentioned.
