apparently these are calcineurin inhibitors that decrease inflammation and are originally used as a short-term treatment for mild to moderate eczema.

Pimecrolimus can be used 'off-label' for scalp psoriasis in areas that topical steroids may cause issues.....

I have read lots of info but would love to hear from someone who has used either
