Different Treatment: You have a chronic condition-you need a treatment that can be used long term. Ultraviolet light treatment or a different oral immune suppressing medicine are possible options.

Have you: Have you been on Protopic or elidel (pimecrolimus)? Altretinoin gel has been helpful to patients also. See dermatologist to discuss other treatments.
