Elidel for face?

[Imapsomom]

I think Dermatologists have a difficult job, particularly with young skin and unfortunately they seem to have a protocol to follow which tends to start with topical creams of which the vitamin d derivatives like Dovonex (calcipotrol)is probably the safest (in my opinion ) then on to the steroid creams before systemic tablet treatments like Methotrexate, acetretin, Skilarence etc. Before going to biologicals

However saying all that if I was offered Stelara for a child of 13 I’m sure I would go with it as it’s relatively safe ( every drug has risks ) and Stelara I think is a good one that doesn’t scare me as much as some of the tablet ones
I suggest you keep reading here and asking questions
And go to see the dermatologist with some knowledge of what questions to ask

Thanks Jim! Will do. I did like that he told me he would write a prescription for Methotrexate (because he has to) but not to give it as he thought it was unsafe. He also actually listened to me and gave me a big chunk of his time so I shouldn't give him a hard time. Its just all so scary at times.
