pimecrolimus cream canada

I am 40 and I bought vichy retinol cream to treat minor facial wrinkles. My face is burning, I have red spots around my eyes, I have rash all over my face and chin. My skin is flaking and feels very dry. I am noticing some wrinkels in the places they never existed. What shall I do?

Went to my internest, he prescribed me Pimecrolimus cream to use twice daily , found little improvement after using for 6 months , but dark spot discoloration is still there.

These include topical, oral, and intralesional corticosteroids, topical agents like Menthol, phenol, pramoxine, capsaicin cream, vitamin D-3 ointment and topical anesthetics, UV light treatment using UV-B or UV-A plus psoralen and topical immunomodulators tacrolimus and pimecrolimus in steroid unresponsive cases. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.

Thank you - This week I have been using only a homeopathic topical cream called Florasone Cream - Cardiospermum tincture 10% and washing mildly with tepid to cool water with a wash cloth. It has subdued a bit and if it doesn't clear completely then my next course will be the cortisone. Again thank you.

Doctor told me is like a burning from the sun (heavy winter now in my country and no sun for days) and he gave me a cortisone cream for the face. I used the cream last night but today when i woke up i realize that in my ears, around my lips and mustache i get white flakes that go away when i touch them but keep coming back again soon after. Since last night i started using the cream my skin start peeling off. Is this a Seborrheic Dermatitis? If yes what is causing it?

I am currently using Elidel (pimecrolimus) 1%. This is an immunosupressant cream...could this cause my immune system to be supressed and not produce the HIV anti-bodies? I have been using this for well over 3 months.

Hello, my cheeks began to become red a few weeks ago, then a rash began to appear(only on my right cheek first however it soon started to happen on my left), I tried fucidin cream on it because it was similar to a rash I had on my hand a while back, now it would somewhat go away but then it would come back again, now it's worse as my forehead has become extremely irritant, I've tried DiproBase cream on both my cheeks and forehead however they just become scaly.

In unresponsive and granulomatous forms, oral isoterinoin may also be considered. Pimecrolimus cream can also be used.

In December I woke up with very dry skin all over my forehead and i thought it was just usual dry skin.. but then the skin became very tight and plasticy and very very shiny even straight after i got out the shower. I went to the doctor who gave me fucidin and it didn't work and again was given daktarin, daktacort and nizoral. I then had a mild skin peel which reduced the overall plasticness but i still have lines on my forehead and it is still very shiny skin and scaly all over.

Its causing skin discoloration beacuse i used fading cream. while my skin gets lighter they get darker. they gave me pills but it didnt work even cream. i got it when i traveled to guinea. I sweat alot in the winter & summer. my doctor said its fungus. anything i use wont work.
