When Are New Medicines Coming Out To Treat This Disease.is There Any Already In The The Trail Phase?

I am living with mild to moderate PN for about a year now. I am scared to inject any drug in my body for the simple fact I do not like needles and of the side effects of the medication. They need to make something in a pill form or madey a one time injection that cures it. AM I ASKING TOO MUCH??? PLEASE HELP.. TY

I need to say there was not a dramatic change with dupixent, but I forgot to take it once (it’s every two weeks) and the extreme burning and itching returned. I had forgotten just how terrible it could get. Now I just deal with sores, bumps, scabs, pain, itching but it is bearable. I have been going through some hard life events and I notice I have a tendency to touch and rub my scalp more. Absolutely for me grabbing and ice pack and putting it on my scalp when it itches saves so much agony.

Try duplexint … I was scared at first and when I got approved by insurance that it’s medically needed I was covered and from the first shot after 72 hours I saw a big difference! I say talk to your doctor and see!

Dupixent has been very helpful. You have to stick with it to really see. It is an injection, but when I compare it to the agony PN gave me before I tried it, for me it seems a small price to pay.

I know about the FDA Drug Nemolizumab that is to specifically treat PN, but not a cure. It is to be released to patients soon. After researching it, I believe it only comes in the injection form. No, it's not too much to ask for, but believe it has to be administered through the injection form, but I am at my wits ends after dealing with this on my scalp for 15 years will do whatever it takes to get some much needed relief from this horrific disease!😱 🙏
