I'm currnetly using Elidel to treat my eczema. I was told that cortisone creams and such are bad for you. I read that it can cause some terrible side effects, but what are they?
I was just wondering since I have been using this type of cream for a long time now (I've been using Elecon since I was about 5 years old, then switched to Triamcinolone Topical Cream for about 3-4 years, then to Protopic for about 2-3 years, and now Elidel for about 2 years). Is it okay if I have been using it on and off?
I was using it about 5 times a week for 3 weeks, then stopped using it for about 1-2 weeks. Do you guys think that is okay?
I have SEVERE eczema, and my terrible allergies don't help (I'm basically alergic to everything). So if some of you could suggest some other treatments, that would be nice too (but please answer my other questions first)
Any helpful information is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
