>Is Protopic only for women or male can use it also ?
Yes both men and women can use it. Think of it similiar to the steroids, but replacing them without damaging the tissue. It's non-gender and it's made for psoriasis or eczema. Just be aware that it can irritate those first few applications but worth sticking it out. Suggested usage is twice a day 12 hrs apart. Some say refrigeration may help and don't use water to get it off, it may increase the irritation.
After the initial irritation (which 'might' be strong) it turns into a warm soothing feeling within a few days. Stats say that approximately 47% 'may' have that irritation. One person I know was pure hamburger meat and swore it was a miracle. Others have felt the same way. I'm currently running a poll on it's usage and have approximately 45-50 reports, so far 98% said it's working better than anything they've ever used.
Good luck to those who may try it and hope your doctors will consider it.
Warmest Regards,
Dee
