Does anyone have any experience with protopic ointment for the treatment of eczema?

It has been prescribed for my one year old.Does anyone have any experience with protopic ointment for the treatment of eczema?
I'm 22 and was prescribed that almost 2 years ago. DON'T USE IT. It now carries a black box warning and is too strong, esp. for a baby. I went back to my doctor after i heard about the warning, and she prescribed Aclovate. I try not to use it and just stick to washing with Dove and moisturizinig with Cetaphil. Taking an antihistamine before i go to bed also helps so that i don't scratch. That's when I would do all the damage, in my sleep. I would wake up in the morning with such raw skin. Also, to relieve broken raw skin and also just to relieve and moisturize, make a solution of half cold water and half fat free/skim milk. Use it as a splash or a cold compress. Helps esp after the shower while pores are still open. Follow up with the Cetaphil. Good Luck!Does anyone have any experience with protopic ointment for the treatment of eczema?
protopic is safe. absolutely harmless. it changed my life. help your kid out before he misses out on his childhood like i did Report Abuse

This is a new one to me. When I was young, I used Drenison or something like that (strong steroid cream). There are a number of other treatments that are equally or more effective and have less side effects.


Find out what causes the eczema. Stress plus diet can do it. Where are you with tracking this down?


Do other things help? Urea hand lotion may make a difference. Allpressan #3 and #7 makes the difference for me right now.
