Did the Dermatologist say how long to use it?
It's not for long-term use and you at or near that point. I'd consult the doctor to see if it should be continued.
Is the condition improving?
Getting a second opinion might not be a bad idea either.
Take care,
Jake

hi jake,
thanks for sharing your viewpoint with me
he actually encouraged me to keep using more and continuously... and indeed on days that i used it, the redness/vein-like appearance fades... but once i did a stop they recur.
but i did a search online n see that tacrolimus is a relatively new drug and some warned about the prolonged side effects, thus the slight apprehension to this drug
theres actually another dermatologist that i will love to see as he specialises in genital dermatology so maybe i will try to secure an appointment with him -- albeit at a non-subsidized rate
