Has anyone else tried Tacrolimus 0.03% Ointment for severe eczema? How's it working out for you?
I've been prescribed Tacrolimus 0.03% Ointment 60gm for my moderate to severe eczema. My doctor says it should help calm down my overactive immune system and reduce the redness, itching, and inflammation. I'm a bit nervous about the side effects, especially the serious ones. Has anyone else tried this and what has your experience been? Pro's? Con's? So far, I'm noticing some skin irritation, but nothing too bad. Fingers crossed it works! How long did it take for you to see improvements?

I switched to this after my steroid creams stopped working. It's been a battle, but Tacrolimus has been a lifesaver. Just apply it consistently and follow your doctor's advice. The other side effects list is long, but if you know how to spot them, it's not scary.
I've had some good and bad experiences. It's a bit pricey. Insurance sometimes doesn't cover the full cost if you can't prove all else failed. But my doctor said to stick with it. I think it's too soon to tell if it's working yet.
I'm on my third week and have noticed some improvement, but I'm worried about the long-term side effects. Has anyone had any kidney issues?
Be careful, though. I had a friend who had a severe allergic reaction to it. Make sure you're closely monitored by your doctor.
If you're worried, talk to your doctor. They can give you some insights on what to expect and what to watch for.
I had some hair bumps from it, but they went away after a few days. No big deal, just keep an eye on it.
I started using it a few weeks ago and noticed some skin tingling, but nothing too bad. I think it's worth sticking with it if this is my last resort. Other creams I tried never worked.
