Must be applied thinly, worked well for atopic dermatitis. I'm diagnosed with SLE since 1980.

Please be cautious with this topical medication. Long term effects are not know and it's certainly not meant to be used in immunosuppressed individuals. I used this medication for dermatitis on a couple spots on my face three years ago for only 5 days and it ruined my skin. Permanently. Please be careful.
