Here I am with a flare-up “beard” 2.5 months after my restarting Dupixent (after a 5 year break). It’s been spreading and it’s still spreading. And on my face; the forbidden area! It’s on my arm too. My skin hasn’t been in clear mode at all since I restarted Dupixent. It got better, but has progressively gotten worse.
I’m trying to figure out if it’s better right after my Dupixent injection and then gets worse again after a few days.
Sigh. I guess overall it’d be worse without Dupixent at all. Damn silver lining.
I’ve said for years that Dupixent helped finish clearing me from my Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW) and then kept me totally clear until I got off it (to get pregnant). But now I’m realizing I was using Protopic at the same time time as Dupixent. What if the combination of Protopic and Dupixent is what cleared me? I finally stopped Protopic last year - I was hoping to keep it that way.
Maybe my going out of town in three days for the holidays will help with my flare up. Ha! Travel has only ever triggered terrible flareups. Unless there’s a Christmas miracle this year! Ho, ho, ho.
