      dont let them shrug you off, it took me a while to see a dermatoligist but i got there in the end! although i was told its not that bad and to try the creams they suggested its not got any better, im going to go back

    I've had a similar situation. Talk to your dermatologist about Tacrolimus Ointment 0.1%. It's not a steroid anti-inflammatory ointment that you apply twice a day for two weeks. Mine started clearing up within 48 hours. Hope this helps.

      ive just checked ive actually got some of that, if i remeber correctly it made a slight difference but then it got worse. maybe i didnt give it long enough to work, it says to use it once a day for 4 weeks

      Yes, I think you need to let it run its course. I did the same thing but followed the directions and it worked for me.
