Hi, first and foremost what do you mean by PD ? is it photodermatitis?
Secondly hearing you it seems that your skin is going really dry due to which it goes inflamed and red.
Elidel is a correct cream but you should put on lots of moistourisers in the day to stop it coming back
never use the scrub pads again. take care
