He was using Bepathen for a long time - now just using Protopic - he has been going to classes that are almost 4 hours long - he wouldnt do that before, so I think its helping - he doesnt come on here much - I check in once in awhile to see if there is anything new - hes had EC since 16 - he's 21 now.
I know how much it affects him - sometimes I dont understand because I dont see it as bad as he does - but the forum helps me understand how much it affects people who have it.
I dont know about long term use with Protopic - I know other people have had sucess with it on here - more just managing - not curing though as far as i know.
But I think the Psoriasis drug that actually seems to cure some people is a good sign - there hasnt ever been anything that has cleared Psoriasis before - kind of like EC - so I hope he will ask his derm about it next time,
