It cannot change the adverse effect of steroids and picon cream is a prescription medicine used on the skin (topical) to treat eczema (atopic dermatitis). Picon cream is in a class of medicines called topical calcineurin inhibitors. Picon cream is for adults and children age 2 years and older who do not have a weakened immune system.
