Thanks for all the info on how you are combating this disease. I read the abstract at Pub Med and this sounds quite promising with no long-term-usage problems like the triamcinolone acetonide (steroid) cream. On the downside, this cream is quite expensive, so if one's insurance plan won't cover it's cost, that could be problematic for some people.
What is the condition of your sores after using the Tacrolimus on them ? Do they actually go away, or do they just stop itching? Thanks and best of luck!

A 60 gram tube of Tacrolimus cost me $113 using GOODRX at ACME Savon pharmacy. Savon has the best price of any pharmacy.
I use 1 or 2 grams a day to cover 20 sores. Real tiny dabs makes the sores smaller the next day. And if you do not expose your self to any heat or friction, the sores get smaller day by day.
I have been in and out "warm" places and by using Tacrolimus the sores never get bigger. Stay same size.
Example: I eat at a Diner where the AC is usually 70 degrees. Some times it is 73. Well, at 73 degrees and 2 hours exposure, my GD acts up a little. But at 70 degrees GD is happy.
Bottom line, you are looking at $1200 a year. Not bad for the price.
