There is no permanant treatment. It is by definition a chronic problem.
i wouldnt lower the tacrolimus dose further
Hi, Has anyone been using Sirolimus/Rapamune as their immuno-suppressant med prior to Hep-C treatment? (Combined Interferon/Ribavirin) I start next week and my doctor said I would be the first they've treated who is currently on this med.
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.
He told me there was no other treatment, and it would work better with routine use. So, against my better judement I did what he said. I have used it almost daily for nearly a year. I now know I have steroid induced rosacea. My NEW dermatologist has taken me off the fluocinonide. I am having severe flares, and even on a good day, my neck (where I usually applied it) is very pink/red and I have a little hypopigmentation there. I am now on Oracea daily and Biafine.
The specialist reviewed all of the options with us - cyclosporine, pilocarpine or tacrolimus with sirolimus. She said that very rarely has she seen any dog respond to cyclosporine after not responding to tacrolimus. She also said that because our dog doesn't have a dry, goopy nose, that pilocarpine wouldn't be a first choice. She recommended a mix of tacrolimus with sirolimus. She said sirolimus is new. I have not been able to find anything about this drug on the internet.
Cheilitis(Inflammation of the skin on and around the lips)is often seen in atopic dermatitis. Treatment is by topical steroids or oral therapy of corticosteroids in severe cases. Topical creams like tacrolimus ointment (Protopic) and pimecrolimus cream (Elidel) are also useful.
If still the symptoms do not improve then please get a clinical examination done by a dermatologist.
I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted in case you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.
Other treatment options include Retinoids, vitamin A-like drugs, Tacrolimus ointment and Ultraviolet light treatment.
I suggest you to get an evaluation done from a dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis.

Hello,
Morphea is localized scleroderma leading to thickening of the dermis and subcutaneous tissues. Corticosteroids is the main mode of treatment . Other therapy with topical calcipotriene, tacrolimus 0.1% ointment (under occlusion) and imiquimod 5% cream may also be useful. PUVA and photodynamic therapy is also found to be useful.
You can consult any good dermatologist in your area or in the metro cities and discuss these treatment options with him.
My mom have a killoid on chest. She have burning pain around it. What treatment we should take for it? Right now she is taking medicine of homeopathy. What cream should prefer if burning pain persists?
His cretanine is almost 1.4 or around. My question is that should he continue his TACROLIMUS tablets or should switch to some other tablets which are safe for kidneys?
Secondly , in my sorrounding there is an opinion that lowering the TACROLIMUS dose also let the liver enzymes to increase? Do you favour such opinions as my father has lowered his tacrolimus dose to keep his kidneys safe?
Sir ,will wait for your kind reply.
Thanks.
Topical antifungals and mild steroids are the usual treatment and combination of the two can be used to treat stubborn patches. Oral antifungal drugs and immunomodulators such as tacrolimus and pimecrolimus are used in very severe cases.

Antihistaminics, topical steroids, PUVA therapy, retinoic acid and tacrolimus are the available treatment options for lichen planus.It is best to clarify your doubts by your dermatologist. I hope it helps.

i agree with the above. When people have a systemic illness such as a flu the liver tests can increase this much with ultimate spontaneous resolution.
