My daughter, age 13, has had issues with her skin since she was very little. We started using the Elidel and were very pleased with the results. I heard and read the results regarding cancer and we stopped using it. I had become very concerned. Nothing else seemed to work nearly as well as Elidel.

My infant was given this med at the hospital in 2003. I was unaware of the potential side effects and the Dr. asured me it was safe for my infant. It was not!!!!! Do not use this product believe me its not worth the risk. My child now 8 is almost living a normal life. This drug should be taken off the market!!!!!

I have had dealt with severe eye allergies for about a yr. with little success in treatments...I had tried everything and then was left with elidel being the last thing to try..I had to pay $71 with insurance b/c they dont offer samples anymore...tried it once and woke up with my eyelids SWOLLEN and BURNING(like a chemical burn)...it was awful...I would have been better off not wasting my money....

I HAD VERY BAD SEBOREHIC DERMATIDIS ON MY FACE. I USED ELIDEL AS PRESCRIBED,IT DID CLEAR THE SKIN UP (TEMPORARILLY LIKE MANY OTHERS) BUT THIS CREAM DID SOMTHING TERRIBLE TO MY EYES. THEY BURN AND STING, I TOLLERATED THE BURNING FOR ABOUT 1 YEAR(i told my doctor about it) put me on somthing else. but 4 years later i still have very bad burning eyes no doubt caused by this cream. bad drug .

I had a gross looking patch of skin with blister and they itched and burned they were on my calf,This topical creme got rid of it in 3-4 days i had had it for about 3 months and tried every pill and creme and ointment till elidel was prescribed to me, I under stand that it is a steroidal creme. All i know is that it works and maybe it would work for other viral infectious diseases to.

I had breast cancer in 2002. I had 34 radiation treatments which caused me to have cellulitis. I was then treated with Elidel cream with great sucess.

My son, now 15 months, has had problems with eczema since he was born. Extremely bad patches on his cheeks that would often begin to bleed because he would scratch them so much. We tried using several non-rx creams from Aveno to Aquaphor. Then we tried a prescrptiong steroid. Nothing seemed to work. Elidel cleared his face up after the first 3 days of use. Now we use it only as it flares up.

I am a 39 year male using it for Dermatitis. This is the best cream of all the ones I have used in the past.

My daughter now only 2 and a half has eczema on her legs mostly and we're looking into something other than Elidel because when we apply it, according to doctors directions, she says it really burns.

I will continue to use it but only if absolutly necessary and only a small amount directly on the outbreak site.Read More Read Less
