Food and Drug Administration officials want new warnings on two prescription skin creams linked to cancer, according to Local 6 News.

The FDA said 78 cases of lymphoma and skin cancer have been linked to Elidel and Protopic -- which are eczema medications.

Now, the FDA wants new, stronger labeling on both medications to point out the cancer risks.

The labels would also recommend the drugs only be used after all other options have been exhausted, according to the report.
