Hypopigmentation ezcema- Discoloration
Does protopic and desonide help stop hypopigmentation ezcema?
Thank you for the quick response. They gave me Protopic for the evening and Desonide for the morning. They told me my coloring should come back in a month and I hope it does because it's been discolored for years.

Hi there,
Protopic is Tacrolimus.It is an immunomodulator that suppresses the immune system where it is applied and allows melanocytes to return. It is usually prescribed to treat eczema but may be prescribed to treat hypopigmentation.Topical corticosteroids like Desonide is usually indicated for the relief of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses.It is best to consult a dermatologist before using either of these. I do hope it helps.
Take care and regards!
