Has anyone else's toddler had facial rash known as Perioral Dermatitis?

My son is 2 1/2 and has a rash around his mouth and eyes called Perioral Dermatitis. This was caused by using a steroid cream on his face a few months ago that was prescribed for a different rash. I am sad because the Perioral Dermatitis is usually chronic and my perfect baby boy might be fighting this ugly rash on his face for years to come. We were prescribed Elidel Cream, which worked beautifully as long as we were applying it daily. The rash went away completely until we stopped using the cream for a while. I don't want to use the Elidel Cream anymore due to the increased risk of cancer, but don't know what else to do. If anyone has any experience with this or any helpful advice, it would be appreciated! Thanks!!Has anyone else's toddler had facial rash known as Perioral Dermatitis?
i read that elidel is prescribed for atopic dermatitis wc is a form of eczema..so it might be that your child has an eczema(?)..furthermore, according to the website i found, it should only be for short term use and if any other medications or treatment fails..have you tried askin your pedia of other methods and treatments?and seek his professional opinion again about your concerns?Godbless
