I have incredibly sensative and dry skin and regularly got excema as a child. When I was a teenager, I was prescribed Elidel to use once per day. It worked wonders - the itchy, scaly skin disappeared and stayed gone as long as I was using it.
The only problem I've experienced is that, many years later, I was told that Elidel should only have been for short-time use, as your skin can get addicted to it. After years of using the product, I am only now trying to ween myself off of it and it's been rough.

I’ve been using this to treat my condition and I have had good results using this. My eczema has cleared up and remains so having continued using Elidel. It is pretty simple to use as it only needs to be applied twice daily and I like it since it isn’t a typical steroid which means that it is safe to use on my face and eyelids. The only complaint I would have about it is that my skin becomes very sensitive to heat when using it. If I step out into a hot wind during the summer or wash my face with hot water, I get a prickling sensation that is quite uncomfortable. There is some relief when I rub the skin or shield it, and if I were to stop using Elidel, the symptom will go away.

My daughter was prescribed Elidel to treat her eczema a couple of years ago by her pediatrician. It did wonders in improving the condition of her skin. After the prescription finished, she stayed well for a while. Recently she has been having eczema flair ups, so her doctor prescribed Elidel again. It is working out well. She has not had any side effects while using this medication.
