anyone tried Protopic ointment?

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone-

I went to the dermatologist on Thursday. I didn't care for him and

he barely looked at me. He didn't even let me ask any questions

before he was out the door.

Anyways, he can't find anything " serious " , he thinks I have either

eczema or have just been irritating myself in some other way.

He is having me try protopic ointment, it is safer that a steroid

and no serious side effects. He said it could take up to 6 weeks to

work, but he also said it doesn't work for everybody.

I have been using it for a few days now, and I haven't noticed any

improvement yet, but I think it is too soon to tell

Has anyone ever tried this?

Jill,

Question for you about the Protopic Oint. Does it contain that Proplyene

glycerol (I think I mess up on the spelling everytime ) ??? I've found that

products that I used i.e. Premarin crm, Bactroban that had that and it burned

also but didn't work a bit. You got my attention about it cuz I'd try anything

at this point. Can you check the ingrediants and see if it has it?

LOL, soon I'll be calling it something completely else. No wonder I didn't do

so well in Chemistry <g>

Dear Jill

Welcome to our world, where doctors think that its all in our heads, please

let me know if you have any success with the protopic ointment, what is this

made up of I have never heard of it. Thanks so much for the tip re: bathing

in bicarb of soda, it has made a huge difference to the irritation, how much

do you put into your bath at night ?

Kind regards

Mandy

Hi Mandy-

I will keep you posted on the protopic, so far i am having

improvement with redness, although that may just be a coincidence.

I actually suggested bathing in white vinegar (1/2 cup) Or is that

the same thing? I have used baking soda also, but I didn't get much

relief with that. The vinegar helps with itching and helps restore

the natural ph balance of your skin.
