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. Now, when the breakouts are bad we apply a very small amount to only the affected area and it is enough to clear it up. I will continue to use it but only if absolutly necessary and only a small amount directly on the outbreak site. Published: October 15, 2007 ::

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. Published: December 16, 2007 ::

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. Published: January 03, 2008 ::

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. Published: December 19, 2007 ::

Didnt help my eczema at all, in fact it got worse. Published: November 25, 2008 ::

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. Published: March 10, 2008 ::

My son has severe eczema and we use Elidel. Not only is it very expensive but we feel it doesn't work very good. It also burns his skin after applying it. For the cost of the small tube, I wish it would work better. Published: May 24, 2009 ::

I developed eczema as a teenager and would get periodic rashes all over my arms, chest, and back. Elidel works very quickly, for the rashes were usually gone in a few days, but temporarily, for they always came back. It doesn't help the itching at all, which is almost a bigger problem than the rash itself. If you have a small temporary problem, I say it's good to use. But if you have chronic eczema, there are other medications that are more effective in the long run. Published: March 25, 2009 ::

I used it on my just-under-2-year old twins with severe eczema--both were up till 3:30 am screaming and very uncomfortable (they are typically good sleepers). Both seemed to be in pain not only at site of application, but in generalized way. I used it on broken skin (they scratch to pt. of bleeding) which I only later read is NOT advised. Nor is using it on this age kid. I think risks of this drug are not worth it--not to mention how miserable it made my kids. Published: March 12, 2009 ::

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....
