Brief summary

This is a phase I trial to evaluate tacrolimus blood levels after topical application of tacrolimus twice daily on healthy skin.

Detailed description

The purpose of this trial is to assess the safety of a topical formulation of tacrolimus. Tacrolimus is commonly used in T-cell medicated diseases. It is expected that 24 subjects will be enrolled in the trial and will be assigned to receive topical application of tacrolimus twice daily for 14 days.

Interventions
