Excema

Postby linda1960 on Tue Feb 26, 2008 6:03 am

Since I have reached menopausal age I have been getting excema in my ears. This causes severe itching and flakes of skin to fall inside the ear often resulting in fungal ear infections. Has anyone found an effective treatment for this.

the newest product around that seems to work where others have failed is tacrolimus. This is not available everywhere and where it is available it is expensive. Perhaps you should ask your Dr about this to see if it is suitable for your problem

Protipic is the brand name for this cream. From Canadian online pharmacies you can get this for $95+ depending on the strength. I know an online pharmacy selling the equivalent amount of a generic for $53 so it becomes a lot more affordable. I am happy to supply the link if anyone wants it.

I have been to the Dr and he's heard of it but it's not available in a finish form here yet. Plus its really expensive. I've been online and see it is available in the brand and generic form out of Canada. The generic is way more affordable. Has anyone tried the generic and are there any side effects?
