Elidel's effects on the skin?

What effects would be likely to occur from 2 weeks use (twice daily) of Elidel on normal sensitive skin, specifically the penis glands? Basically if you were treating this area for what you thought was dermatitis although it turned out not to be anything serious in the first place, then what harm if any could this amount of treatment have done?

What exactly do you mean by short-term and non-continuous treatment? About how many days or weeks does that mean if used on the penis??

Hello,
Elidel is indicated as second-line therapy for the short-term and non-continuous chronic treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis and can be used on the penis but use it under medical supervision under a dermatologist’s guidance.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
