I cannot know if this is normal or due to some factors that I do not see, but the effectiveness of this drug goes down over time. It is apparent to me when i get to the bottom of the tube that it does less to treat my widespread atopic dermatitis. The new tube does better, so I think it might be a shorter expiration date than stated or some temperature variance that I'm not aware of.

Ever since I was little I always would get an almost rash around my mouth. I have eczema and as a child I would always lick my lips and end up with this ugly and painful chapped ring around my mouth. My doctors for 2 years tried everything under the sun. Finally tried this medicine and after two years it literally took less than 24 hours and the rash was gone. It was such a god send. I can get a large tube and it will last me over a year because I only need it every now and then when I feel the rash coming on. As a child and an adult this worked miracles for me.
