Special warnings about Elidel
Elidel may cause skin reactions including mild to moderate feelings of warmth or burning. These reactions are more common during the first few days of treatment and usually last no more than 5 days. If the reaction is severe, however, or lasts more than 1 week, call your doctor immediately. Avoid wrapping treated areas with bandages and other coverings unless your doctor says to do so. Remember to avoid or minimize your exposure to sunlight and tanning beds while using this medication. Elidel may foster development of sunlight-induced skin tumors. Check with your doctor if your eczema gets worse or your symptoms go away; treatment usually should be stopped. Your doctor may also stop the treatment if your skin hasn't improved after 6 weeks. Use Elidel only on non-infected skin. It's important to note that eczema--and possibly Elidel treatment--can make you more prone to skin infections such as herpes, chickenpox, and shingles. Be sure to tell your doctor if you develop any new symptoms such as blisters or red spots. He or she may decide to stop your treatment with Elidel.
Very rare cases of enlarged lymph nodes have occurred during Elidel treatment; skin warts have also been reported. Call your doctor immediately if you develop either of these symptoms, since they may mean you have an infection.
