I've been struggling with eczema for years and have tried countless creams and ointments, but nothing seemed to work long-term. About a month ago, my dermatologist prescribed Pimecrolimus 1% Ext Cream 30gm. I was skeptical at first, but after a few weeks of use, I noticed a significant improvement in my skin. The redness and itching have greatly reduced, and my skin feels much calmer. However, I've also been aware of the potential side effects, especially the serious ones. I'm cautious and watchful for any signs of infection or allergic reactions, and I wash my hands thoroughly before applying the cream. I've been using it strictly as directed and for the shortest time needed to control my symptoms. I'm curious to hear from others who have used this cream and their experiences with it.

I've been using Pimecrolimus for a few months now, and it's been a game-changer for my atopic dermatitis. The only downside is the local skin reactions like burning and stinging, which can be quite uncomfortable but they usually go away after a few days. If you experience any serious side effects, seek medical help immediately.

I used this cream for a while and didn't notice any change, but I did start to miss my face skin oil and moisture. My doctor switched me to something else.

I've been using Pimecrolimus for a while now, and I've had no serious side effects. I did experience some local skin reactions at first, but they went away. I keep an eye out for any signs of infection or other serious side effects, and so far, nothing. I've been using it strictly as directed and for the shortest time needed to control my symptoms. If I notice anything unusual, I'll contact my doctor right away. I encourage everyone to do the same.

I've been using Pimecrolimus for a few weeks now, and it's been a game-changer for my atopic dermatitis. I've had no serious side effects, but I did experience some local skin reactions at first. I've used it only as directed and for the shortest time needed to control my symptoms, and so far, so good. If you experience any serious side effects, seek medical help immediately.

Does anyone else feel like the cream is too greasy? It's a bit tricky to apply if you're trying to avoid getting it on your clothes.

I appreciate that this cream is steroid-free. I've had concerns about the long-term effects of steroid creams. I've been using Pimecrolimus for a few weeks, and so far, so good. I've experienced some mild headaches, but nothing too bad.

Can anyone tell me if you notice improvement within the first week of using it? I've been using it for 5 days, and I don't see any difference yet.

I had a bad reaction to Pimecrolimus once. I got an allergic reaction and had to stop using it. My doctor switched me to a different cream, and it works just fine.
