Here's an interesting link to info on Elidel. Anyone heard of this?

Hi, I'm new to the group. Yes, I use Elidel for rosacea. I was just

diagnosed a month ago, and my dermatologist said this is a relatively

new treatment and talked about the fact that there were no steroids

in the cream. I had no idea why he was telling me all that until I

went and did some research on rosacea and steroid creams. It seems

to work very well, although I have nothing to compare it to, my being

so newly diagnosed. I know my skin is much less red, smoother,

more " normal " looking. I also use Klaron, and apply both twice a

day, usually morning post-shower and again right before bed.

Tina, all I know is that it's a new topical non-steroidal anti-

inflammatory -- its been out for less than a year, I believe -- which

means we don't know the longterm effects of its use or how it affects

rosaceans. Unlike Gwen's experience, I don't believe most

dermatologists are using it for first-line treatment in rosacea.

There isn't more about Elidel in the searchable archives?
