Protopic for eczema. Your experience?

[likeamillpond]

My daughter has been prescribed Protopic for her eczema.
She is on the verge of giving up on it as she says it's causing uncontrollable itching.
She's 3 days in.
Does the itching go away? I've suggested she persevere.
What are your experiences with using this ointment?

I had an ointment based Protopic and didn't get on with it, it made my skin very hot, but from what I remember it did help a bit.
The cream I found best has been Elocon which has (after 40+ years) finally cleared my eczema.

Thanks. Will pass it on about the Elecon.
Are GPs willing to prescribe it? Or did you battle to get hold of it.

I use Protopic and if your DD can hang on in there the burning and itching will soon pass.

I find it amazing stuff, really works for me.

Great. Thanks!

Itching is awful at first but once past that I found it miraculous!
