atopic dermatitis
"I have suffered like many others for years with rubbish skin.  Had every steriod under the sun but wanted to try and stop the problem from happening in the first place.  I was prescribed Protopic.  Yes, at first it burns like hell, but that to me is it working and I suffer it.  As I continue to use it this burning doesn't happen and it has left me with lovely skin.  I have found however that I did not apply on the Thursday and had some alcohol on the Friday thinking the cream would be out of my system, but definately not!  My face became very flushed when I started drinking but then calmed down.  My eyelids and area around the eye was completely swollen the following morning and has just got worse....will need to monitor this."
