Hi @elove1122 The topical ointment I referred to is a prescription medication: Tacrolimus ointment 0.1%

It’s generally prescribed by dermatologists for certain skin conditions. But the directions I was given by my hematologist-oncologist are actually ‘off-label’. While it’s not common, it can be used use topically orally in some cases.

By the way, welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Are you suffering from burning mouth syndrome?
