Elidel (pimecrolimus) for Perioral Dermatitis "Elidel definitely helps for perioral dermatitis. If I use it twice a day, it will usually fully clear the rash within 8-10 days or so. However, there is a random side effect that I experienced - I got super bloated - it was so uncomfortable! This happened both times I used it, so I know it was not anything else. Once I stopped using the cream, the bloating reduced in 24 hours."
