A member asked:
What happens if you use elidel continuously without a break? does it damage your skin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Since Elidel suppresses your immune system it should be prescribed by physicians experienced in its use. There are many contraindications to its use and should only be applied to involved skin as you don't want it to be absorbed in unnecessary amounts. Only apply Elidel as long as your prescribing physician instructs you to.
