In theory, yes, if you don't scratch or pick at them, the cycle of itch/scratch is supposed to be interrupted. However, in my experience, it takes a very long time for them to heal. I think the NAC has helped me to break the cycle although I wish I never had ON in the first place.

What else has the dermatologist recommended? NAC supplement has really helped with the itchiness. I hope Dupixent works for you!

I found that visualization works. When I want to itch/scratch, I visualize my dermatologist's face and the urge stops! I know that sounds funny but it's working for me!

I don't know why my hair isn't falling out but I am on bioidentical hormones which I think helps..as well as thyroid medication for hypothyroid

NAC is also known as N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine. My dermatologist recommended it to help stop the itching associated with PN. I purchased the Nutracost brand which is vegan. It can be purchased on Amazon. The recommended dosage is 600 mg twice a day. It has really helped me.
