Comment:
It works relatively well and it took about a week for the eczema to get better. My eczema wouldn't go away after many treatment rounds with other medicines. This has been the only thing that has worked for me. The only down part is that it really doesn't absorb into the skin quickly leaving the ointment to leave residue on many things.

I was prescribed Protopic .1% a few months ago, it worked great for 2-3 weeks (with minimal burning) and kept my flareup under control. Sadly the beneficiary effect seems to have tapered off and my eczema is worse. =/

Comment:
I was put on protopic when i was 13 years old it tells you to put on after a shower. I followed the instructions and ended up screaming my head off because of the burning that it caused. It did work for a total of two days then my eczema spread everywhere from head to toe. It made everything worse instead of helping me with my issue.
