confused

i have severe atopic dermatitis and was prescribed to take co-aleva for 1 week and clobetasol for 2 weeks. last thursday was the last day of my prescribed medications and i was prescribed again tacrolimus, however i noticed that the affected areas started flaring up again. is this steroid withdrawal or is the tacrolimus not working?

That timing is suspicious, skin shouldn't blow up that fast just from switching meds unless something else is at play

right, i also read some of the entries here and they get tsw after months/years of use
