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."

Elidel (pimecrolimus) for Eczema "I have developed eczema around my eyes for the last two years. Elidel burns my skin, makes my eyes water, and makes my nose run. In other words, it makes it worse for me."

Elidel (pimecrolimus) for Eczema "Elidel works well on the bubbly oozing break outs. Nips them in the bud. Use as needed. But if I use it around my neck and shoulders I will have muscle soreness/stiffness in that area."
