New to group…
Hey everyone I am an 18 year old male who has suffered from SD one my
face area right around my nose and cheeks for a little under 5 years
and in that time ive beeen through 2 dermatoglists and countless
medicines. Currently I apply Oxistat loition and then apply Protopic
over it. I do this twice a day, once before I go to bed and then once
afteer I take a shower in the am. The problem with this is that if i
miss one time (ex. don’t ut it on before I go to sleep), then the skin
gets very dry very fast. You could imagine how this could cause a
problem. I’ve been on these medicines for a year and a half, and while
it hasn’t gotten any worse save for a few flare ups, it doesn’t
reallyseem to be getting any better. Whenever the skns starts to get
bad, I clean it with Cetaphil. Anyways, if anyone could give me some
advice as to wether I am using the reight medicines and whatnot, it
would be really great!

Welcome to the group. I got SD around that age as well and my last
routine was Elidel and Protopic which gave me the babys face I
always wanted till I started to get red nasty bumps which probably
was rosacea(not confirmed). At that point I stopped cold after
reading about the long term effects FDA black box cancer warning.
You should read my previos posts especially the Mike Adams article
that rips big pharma. I worked with the best doctors…not your
typical MD’s but natural and holistic. Huge differnce. No more
creams or drugs, No SD breakouts you get the point.
When you get off the creams you will exprerience withdrawals but not
to worry u will improve over time. Let me know if you have any
questions

Hi
I also tried protopic and elidel in the past.
Elidel had no real effect so i gave it up.
Protopic eased symptoms, however it left my skin very spotty and
greasy - it also left my skin feeling really uncomfortable and i was
very unhappy with it (despite demanding it from the dermatologist in
the fist place). it has however worked miracles for a neighbour with
atopic nonfacial eczema.
I dont think either are right for sd
Si!
