atopic dermatitis
"Protopic has been awesome for my face and hands.  My dermatitis started in my teens and left me with weepy/bleeding scales on my knuckles, upper lip, nose, eyebrows and eyelids.  Protopic wasn't around and used Westcort cream, along with many stronger topical steroids.  Flash forward to today.  My skin is extremely thin all over my face, but thankfully no cataracts (applied steroids everywhere).  Is Protopic a miracle drug?  No, but it's the only thing available to stop my AD on the face.  First application causes stinging/burning/HOT sensation.  After you get past that first day, my symptoms go away.  I continue applying until the skin has healed.  Then, I stop it.  When the eczema starts coming back, I start applying it again."
