Can Elidel Cream Be Used For Rashes On Face?

hello, thanks for taking my question. I have a rashes on my face that consistently for about 10 +years. I was prescribed demonize cream when I first went to dermatologist. The demonize always worked in getting rid of it. just over the last couple years, I was diagnosed with Rosecea . I m currently getting laser for Rosecea. The desonide is no longer eliminating these red rashes I get so my Dermatologist gave me Elidel and cloderm for it. I have been reading about both, and side effects including cancer was mentioned. I was skeptical to take them. I really was curious what you think about these creams and in general, thx

Hi,

Well, both these creams or ointments advised to you will definitely help in reducing rashes and redness.

As far as side effects are concerned it is not always seen by everyone and is just a list that is given on the internet from a mild to the severe outcome and not everything happens to everyone.

So do not worry about it. You should use these creams/ ointments for the confined time as advised to you by your skin specialist and be under his supervision.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
