Protopic ointment

Has anyone tried this?

I have been prescribed it but am worried about the side effects as it is an immunosuppressant.

My skin condition is mild but chronic so can flare regularly; therefore my dermatologist is cautious of me using steroids long term.

This echoes my thoughts too. I have just not been using steroids as my flares are relatively mild and can be controlled to a certain extent with lifestyle changes. I think I could get away with not using the protopic either. Or should I just use it as my dermatologist thinks it is beneficial?
