Might diet play a role? The original randomized, double-blind, controlled trial of diet and eczema found that cutting out eggs, chicken, milk, and beef significantly improved eczema in 70 percent of the kids who completed the study. Subsequent studies found similar results. In fact, out of 13 studies on avoiding milk, eggs, or both, 10 studies documented overall clinical improvement. Might be worth a try since the side effects of a mostly plant based diet are all beneficial. Not so for dupixent.

Ah, dermatology. I've heard it said about my colleagues the periodontists that they're like dermatologists. Their patients seldom die, and they seldom get well. Glad you were able to put the lie to that one.

Now Dupixent needs a famous spokesperson like Cyndi Lauper for Cosentyx--"Five yeuhs cleuh!"
