Hi, I've Been Dupixant For 3 Months So Far. I Was Doing Ok However, This Week I've Icing Both Arms Every Night Because Of The Pain & Itching
The sun hurts the skin on my arms. The pain & itching is horrible! I don't know how I can survive like this much longer. 🥺
Have you contacted the dermatologist about this? It sounds like a prescription may be in order if you don't have anything on your regimen to deal with this? OTC Benedryl for now for itching? I use Blue Lizard sunscreen. Maybe avoid sun exposure for the time being.
I was on Dupixent for about 9 months -- it helped. Had to stop because of hip surgery. About a month after I stopped I developed shingles -- which is apparently a side effect of Dupixent. The antiviral worked right away. I have found DuoDerm bandages -- get on Amazon -- not cheap but they can stay on for a few days -- helped me stop itching the lesions and got them 'moist' enough to start healing. I wish you the best.
I am new to all of this and new to this site. The itch is almost unbearable at times. Seems the worst when I wake in the morning. Thank you for your suggestions.🙂
I forgot to suggest Aquaphor for moisturization. Have you tried NAC for possible help with the itching? It's a 600 mg capsule taken twice per day per my dermatologist. The brand I purchase is Nutracost which is vegan. Amazon has it.
It sounds like you need something that will complement the Dupixent.
Can Anyone Who Has Been On Dupixent For At Least 3months Or Longer Tell Me If They Have Noticed Any Weight Gain?
Not Sure If This Is Allowed, But Just For Fun.....What Is Your Sign (Zodiac AKA Astrological)?
Can People Using DUPIXENT For Prurigo Nodularis Please Share Experience With It?
