How can you make tacrolimus ointment?
In Australia there isn't a pre made formulation available, however, compounding pharmacies can make the ointment for you. Please remember this is a prescription medication. The price can vary, but expect to pay $60 for only 15grams. Alternatively, if you look online, there may be a commercially produced ointment available however this probably hasn't been approved by the TGA and hence isn't sold in pharmacies.
If you have eczema can you shave your legs?
You can shave you legs...but I have found in my own experience that it only worsens the condition. I suggest you use moisturizers daily, and get a prescription from your doctor for a topical creme you can use to clear it up. Until everything is completely gone, do not shave. It should only take a couple of weeks.
