What exactly is the eczema medicine ELIDEL?
ELIDEL (pimecrolimus) Cream 1% is a steroid-free prescription cream that controls the itching and redness of eczema. It is for people ages 2 and older who have mild to moderate eczema. (This accounts for most of the people with eczema.) Many people with eczema are also treated with an assortment of medications. However, when you and your doctor find that other treatments aren’t right for you or your child, your doctor may prescribe ELIDEL. Once prescribed, steroid-free ELIDEL can be used anywhere on your skin, including your face, neck, and around the eyes.
