This was a really insightful discussion about the conventional corticosteroid and the Tacrolimus

Points that got highlighted -

Tacrolimus is better for skin ailments than corticosteroids, discovered by Japanese scientists.

Originally this compound was used as an immunosuppressent during organ transplantation

Steriodal preparations generally leads to hormonal imbalance, but Tacrolimus gives high hopes.( For concerns like bone health and etc.).
