A gentle prescription treatment for itchy, red, raw, or persistent eczema in delicate skin folds and sensitive areas, formulated at a strength this skin can actually tolerate while helping support the barrier. Compounded to your clinician's formula, not pulled off a shelf.

Prescribed alongside another treatment area. We can only treat sensitive areas when eczema is also present somewhere else on your body. Eczema confined to the genital area alone requires in-person care.

Everything in your Sensitive Areas plan

How is this different from what I've already tried?

Your cream is compounded for delicate skin, not pulled off a shelf.

  • Mixed for your skin. Built around your triggers, your severity, and how these areas actually flare.
  • Several actives, one cream. No layering three products and hoping.
  • Dialed down on purpose. Skin folds are thin and stay covered, which means they absorb far more of whatever you put on them. The potency and the base are both chosen for that, so it works without burning.
  • Reworked, not just refilled. Not responding by week three? Your specialist changes the formula, at no extra cost.
Is this right for my sensitive areas?

Built for eczema in the places most people never bring up at an appointment.

  • Itching in the groin or inner thigh that gets worse with heat, sweat, and friction
  • Raw, red skin in the fold under your breasts that never fully dries out
  • Persistent irritation around the genital area or buttocks that stings when you use anything on it
  • You've been handed a steroid meant for thicker skin, and it burned or thinned the area
  • You've changed what underwear you wear, or you skip the gym during a flare

Conditions we commonly treat here: atopic dermatitis in the skin folds, irritant and allergic contact dermatitis from detergents, wipes, fragrance, and pads, friction and moisture irritation in folds that stay covered, seborrheic dermatitis in the groin, and lichenified patches that have thickened from long-term scratching.

This area is never treated on its own. Your clinician can include sensitive areas in your plan only when eczema is also present on at least one other part of your body. If your eczema appears only in the genital area, we'll point you toward in-person care instead.

We also may not be able to treat eczema only on the scalp, or covering more than 70% of your body. Those cases currently require in-person care. Curex treats adults and children aged 2 and older, in all 50 states.

What's in it, and is it safe?

Your exact prescription is decided by your clinician after medical review. For sensitive areas, formulas are commonly built from lower-potency options:

Steroid-based, for short courses during active flares

HydrocortisoneDesonideCeramide Barrier Cream

Non-steroid, the usual first choice for delicate skin

TacrolimusPimecrolimusCeramide Barrier Cream

Maintenance, to keep flares from returning

TacrolimusCeramide Barrier Cream

How your clinician chooses

Steroids and non-steroidals both have a place, and neither is automatically the right answer. A well-chosen steroid can calm an angry flare quickly. Non-steroidals are usually better suited to thin skin and to long-term maintenance, which is why they carry more of the work here. Your clinician picks based on your skin, the specific spots affected, and how you respond.

  • Your clinician selects the lowest effective potency, and for these areas that is well below what would be used on a palm or a shin.
  • Skin folds stay covered, which holds medication against the skin and drives absorption up. Your formula is adjusted down to account for that.
  • Steroids here are used in short, defined courses rather than open-ended, because thin skin is where long-term steroid use causes problems fastest.
  • Most patients move to a non-steroidal maintenance formula once the flare is under control, which keeps results going with less medication.
  • If a base stings, say so. Delicate skin often reacts to preservatives and alcohols, and the base can be swapped without changing the active.
  • Have a preference either way? Tell your clinician during intake and they'll work with it where it's clinically appropriate.
  • You have 24/7 clinician oversight. If something stings, spreads, or doesn't settle, message your specialist and the formula gets adjusted.
  • Mention any pregnancy, breastfeeding, current medications, or prior reactions during intake.

Final treatment, medication, formulation, and instructions are determined by a licensed clinician after medical review. Compounded medications have not been approved by the FDA and the FDA has not evaluated their safety or efficacy.

What does it cost, and can I cancel?

One price, cream included. No contract.

  • $75/month. Billed monthly. Cancel anytime, no fees.
  • That one price covers your online visit, your compounded cream, and shipping. Nothing else to buy.
  • Your cream ships free every 2 months, so one shipment covers two billed months.
  • Sensitive areas are added to a plan that treats at least one other area. Each additional area is $60/month instead of $75.
  • HSA and FSA accepted, and we work with all major insurance providers.

Try it risk free for 30 days. If your skin isn't better, we refund every dollar.

What happens after I start?

From your skin to your cream in five steps.

  1. Tell us your history, your triggers, and which areas flare, including where else on your body (photos are optional and stay in your private chart)
  2. A board-certified eczema specialist reviews your skin and decides what belongs in your formula
  3. Your Flare Up Control cream is compounded at our pharmacy, sometimes the same day you finish your intake
  4. It ships free to your door, with full instructions on how and when to apply it
  5. As your skin calms, you move to a maintenance cream that keeps the flares from coming back

No appointments, no waiting rooms, no time off work. Your specialist stays reachable the whole way.

What your first weeks look like.

Across thousands of treated patients the pattern repeats: the itching stops, the patches fade, sleep comes back, and then the flares stop coming back.

You won't find sensitive-area photos here.

The results above are from patients treating their hands, arms, face, legs, and torso. Out of respect for our patients, we don't publish before-and-after images of the genital area, groin, buttocks, or under the breasts. People come to us for these areas precisely because they're private, and we're not going to trade that for a more persuasive landing page.

Your case is reviewed privately by a licensed clinician, and any photos you choose to share during intake stay in your confidential medical chart under HIPAA, visible only to your clinical team. They are never used in marketing.

Not a fit for everyone. Sensitive areas are treated only alongside eczema elsewhere on the body. We may not be able to treat cases involving only the genital area, only the scalp, or more than 70% body coverage. Those cases currently require in-person care.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of sensitive-area eczema do you treat?

In these areas we commonly treat:

  • Atopic dermatitis in the skin folds
  • Irritant and allergic contact dermatitis from detergents, wipes, fragrance, and pads
  • Friction and moisture irritation in folds that stay covered
  • Seborrheic dermatitis in the groin
  • Lichenified patches that have thickened from long-term scratching
  • Sweat- and friction-triggered flares under clothing and waistbands

Within this area, your formula can target:

  • Genital area
  • Groin & inner thigh
  • Buttocks
  • Under breasts

We treat sensitive areas only alongside eczema elsewhere on the body. We may not be able to treat cases involving only the genital area, only the scalp, or more than 70% of your body. Those cases currently require in-person care.

Why do sensitive areas need a different cream than my hands or arms?
This is the thinnest skin we treat, and it spends the whole day covered. A skin fold behaves like a bandage: it traps heat and moisture and holds whatever you apply directly against the skin, which pushes absorption far above what the same cream would do on a forearm. That means a formulation strong enough for your palms can cause real damage here, including thinning and stinging, while a standard body cream is often too irritating in a different way. Your Curex formula is compounded at a strength these areas tolerate, in a base chosen not to burn.
Can I get this on its own, without treating anywhere else?
No. Sensitive areas are prescribed only as part of a plan that also treats eczema on at least one other part of your body. Eczema that appears only in the genital area can have causes that need an in-person exam to rule out, so those cases fall outside what we can safely handle over telehealth. If that's your situation, we'll tell you during the quiz and point you toward in-person care rather than sell you a plan.
Who is eligible?
Curex treats adults and kids aged 2 and older, in all 50 states. For sensitive areas specifically, you also need eczema present on at least one other part of your body. Take our free quiz to find out if you or your child is eligible for our eczema treatment program.
How does the treatment process work?
Take the free quiz so we can see if the program is a fit. Our onboarding team will help create your chart and gather key details. Photos are optional, they go into your confidential medical chart, and they're seen only by your clinical team. You'll be connected with a clinician who will review your history and recommend a treatment plan. If you agree with the plan, your medication is prepared and shipped in plain packaging from our pharmacy, sometimes as early as the day you take the quiz.
What medications might be prescribed?
Your Curex clinician may recommend steroidal and/or non-steroidal topicals, and sometimes anti-infectives. For sensitive areas this commonly includes lower-potency options such as Hydrocortisone, Desonide, Tacrolimus, Pimecrolimus, and Ceramide barrier cream, with non-steroidals doing most of the work. The exact prescription depends on your age, the specific spots affected, severity, and medical history.
How much does it cost?
Your eczema plan is $75/month, billed monthly, and you can cancel anytime. Your medication refill ships every 2 months, so a single shipment covers two billed months. That one price includes your online clinician visit, prescriptions, and shipping. Because sensitive areas are always treated alongside at least one other area, each area after the first is $60/month. There's a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Do you use topical steroids, and how do you avoid overuse?
This matters more here than anywhere else on the body, because thin skin is where long-term steroid use causes thinning fastest. Our clinicians use steroids in short, defined courses when a flare needs to be brought down quickly, then move you onto a non-steroidal maintenance formula as soon as it's reasonable. You have 24/7 clinician oversight throughout, so nothing runs open-ended without review.
How soon will I see results?
Our goal is to stop your flare up in the first month, and patients treating sensitive areas often notice the itching and burning easing within the first couple of weeks. Skin that has thickened from long-term scratching takes longer to settle than surface redness. After our clinical team reviews your medical history and affected areas, they can give you a realistic timeline, since results are different for everyone.
Will it sting, or feel heavy in a skin fold?
It shouldn't. Formulas for these areas are compounded in a light base meant to absorb rather than sit in a fold, since anything occlusive tends to make moisture-related irritation worse. Delicate skin also reacts to preservatives and alcohols that most people never notice elsewhere. If your formula stings, feels heavy, or leaves marks, message your specialist and they can change the base without changing what's actually treating you.
Can I still exercise and sweat normally?
Yes. You don't need to stop working out. Sweat, friction, and damp fabric are among the biggest triggers in these areas, so your clinician will give you a routine built around your real week, including when to apply relative to training, what to change about underwear and workout fabric, and how to get the area dry without scrubbing it.
Do I have to send photos of a private area?
Photos are optional. Many patients are treated on history and description alone, and your clinician will tell you if an image would genuinely change the plan. Anything you do send goes into your confidential medical chart under HIPAA, is visible only to your clinical team, and is never used in marketing. We don't publish patient photos of these areas anywhere on this site.
What states do you serve?
Curex is available in all 50 states. Our licensed clinicians can treat patients anywhere in the US.
Do you accept HSA/FSA?
Yes, Curex accepts HSA and FSA payments for eligible expenses.
