dupixent worked for me almost immediately. i do still have some nodules but they do not itch, they are just REALLY ugly. when you start the dupixent, stay on schedule, use a numbing cream, inject slowly and give yourself a present afterward.

Hi Dee, it does for many. I was on it for 13 months, worked great and stopped the itch. But then the side effects got me, I think because of other things I have, like both asthma and COPD. Many have said they have no, or little side effects, a couple that went to the ER. As with any medication, there is varied response.
I hope it does well for you.
