For Atopic Dermatitis "Protopic has been awesome for my face and hands. My dermatitis started in my teens and left me with weepy, bleeding scales on my knuckles, upper lip, nose, eyebrows, and eyelids. Protopic wasn't around, and I used Westcort cream, along with many stronger topical steroids. Flash forward to today. My skin is extremely thin all over my face, but thankfully no cataracts (applied steroids everywhere). Is Protopic a miracle drug? No, but it's the only thing available to stop my AD on the face. First application causes a stinging, burning, hot sensation. After you get past that first day, my symptoms go away. I continue applying until the skin has healed. Then, I stop it. When the eczema starts coming back, I start applying it again."

For Atopic Dermatitis "After 5/6 trips to my local GP and getting nowhere with my skin, it was time to cave in and see a specialist, and it’s the best thing I’ve ever done. After suffering with eczema and acne all on my face for 2 years now, within 2 days of using this cream, it’s cleared up remarkably. Now I can’t lie, and I will say the first few times it stings and burns your face like anything, but the results are insane. This cream really is a miracle, and I’m smiling for the first time in years as I can finally see progress in my face. Again, the only downsides are the price and the agony you’ll go through for the first few uses, but I beg you to see through it because you will not be disappointed."

For Atopic Dermatitis "I used it, and it started to sting and made me feel a little bit dopey, but the next day it really helped."
