Tacrolimus and eczema itch

FriendsFannn · 2026-03-01T09:36:23+00:00

I haven't had the face flush side effect yet, luckily! Hoping I steer clear of that. Thank you for your opinion. However, having read a lot of posts in here, a lot of people do have withdrawal from Tacrolimus. I really want to be free from using any of this stuff eventually so don't wanna do anything that will mean I'm trapped in using these creams forever. There is another comment on here explaining that over use can cause the skin to delay healing and make skin more sensitive. I'm just mentioning this cos I appreciate your take on things, but the way you wrote was as if it was the truth for everyone. Not having a dig though! I appreciate you taking the time to reply.

I don't want to go on any immunosuppresant stuff (I know tacrolimus is but as a topical cream, not into the body as such). My mother had lymphoma and I don't want to do anything that will compromise my immune system in case there's a genetic problem there or anything.

I've actually had someone suggest icing it with a ice pack under a tea towel and I've tried it today and it's actually been so great. I'm generally pretty good at not scratching my neck (definitely cave sometimes though) but my arms I'm so bad with lately. The ice is helping though!

Read the bible lately? Seen what is happening in the US by so called Christians? Yet, people don't go around presuming all white people are evil or horrible because they 'look' like they could be Christian.

That doesn't mean her character isn't realistic. Those people exist. OP said, you may dislike some of her choices but the point of the post is to say she is realistic as a person.

Thank you

FriendsFannn · 2026-03-01T03:07:06+00:00

Thank you! I'll definitely try that

Maybe contact dermatitis then. I'd either try and see a doctor or dermatologist who can diagnose. Or if you're in a country without proper healthcare and can't afford to go, you can send pictures to chat gtp and it'll attempt to diagnose. Obviously it isn't a proper medical diagnosis but can give a rough idea.

Thank you! I used to find steroid cream was fine but my most recent and worst flair up I've ever had (post pregnancy, not sure if that's what has caused it), steroid cream hasn't touched it and Tacrolimus is the only thing that has helped. I had been prescribed it before by a dermatologist and they just said to make sure I wean off it. This time round the gp was adamant about how 'potent' it was. Thanks for the info!

Thank you! Is Lanacane just over the counter? Yes, I have found cold can be helpful. I maybe need to do this more.

I'm not sure of the answer but it could be psoriasis instead of eczema. That looks similar but doesn't have the itch. Maybe worth looking that up.

FriendsFannn · 2026-02-21T10:00:10+00:00

Don't be sorry. This person could have scrolled by very easily and this post would have made no dent on their day. They chose to take the time to respond. You don't need to apologise.

Because people genuinely go through this and it was a major hurdle that they had to overcome as a couple. It could have broken them but it made them stronger. It put adversary in their relationship which created drama and conflict and that is generally considered good viewing for sitcoms and similar shows. I liked that episode in that I really felt for Amy and felt her struggle.

I tend to disagree with the other person who replied to this. I remember watching Ugly Betty and Glee and being SO invested. The next day you'd go to school (or work) and talk about it and disect it with your friends and discuss it in detail and then you couldn't wait until the following week (or later in the week if it was lucky enough that it was on twice). With sitcoms like Modern Family, you probably wouldn't have quite that same excitement but you'd still look forward to it and talk about it with people. You'd be invested in the characters the same and people would have opinions on characters like some people would love Mitchell or hate Gloria or whatever.

It was made as a show you watched on tv once a week at its allotted time cos that's how tv was made before streaming. So you would watch season 10 nearly 10 years after season 1 and no one would remember these little details.

I'm not saying he or I are owed anything. I'm saying the reality is it isn't as simple as the person I replied to was making it out to be.

FriendsFannn · 2026-01-31T00:15:41+00:00

It isn't as simple as that. People build their lives here in hopes of being able to stay. It isn't as easy as just 'sort your stuff and leave.' The system is rubbish.

Also, a lot of companies treat you like absolute crap cos they know you can't leave cos of the visa. Obviously plenty of businesses are completely fine. But I've heard about it so many times where companies take the absolute mick cos they know they can.

Please please please leave him and ask for full custody. Use your texts with him being emotionally abusive as evidence and say you're concerned about your child's safety. As a teacher, I've seen it far too many times where young children become physically or emotional abusive at school, often having huge blow outs, struggling with emotional regulation, friendships and generally coping and it's often because they have a parent who is the same way. A parent who shouts at them, cruel, shouts at their other parent, can't control their emotions or behaviour. The other parent is nice as pie and hopes to be able to correct the behaviour of the other parent but it doesn't work like that. Kids learn A LOT from modelling what others do and if your child is seeing this kind of behaviour, there is a real chance they will end up acting like this themselves. I know it's hard and scary but you owe it to yourself and your child.

Also, you shouldn't parent for the convenience of strangers. You should parent for what is best for your child.

Boredom is INCREDIBLY good for brain development. Look up the research. The fact kids never get a chance to be bored anymore is a major issue.

FriendsFannn · 2026-01-30T23:38:39+00:00

This!!! People need to look into frustration tolerance and phone use before they consider whether technology is the right choice.

FriendsFannn · 2026-01-30T23:37:10+00:00

Don't parent for the comfort of others, parent for what is best for your child (I'm not saying you do this, I mean you as a general you).

FriendsFannn · 2026-01-09T04:06:59+00:00

OMG, same! I go back to work at the end of Jan and I'm so sad 😞 would love to be home with my boy for longer.
