A MyPrurigoTeam Member asked a question 💭

Would Any Support Team Members Be Willing To Email The FDA?

A MyPrurigoTeam Member asked a question 💭

Yesterday I sprayed an instant root cover up, from the drug store, on my grey roots. It has totally killed my scalp. I am back to a pre-dupixent, pre anything condition. The nodules doubled and it is so painful I cannot touch my hair, let alone my scalp. Two days ago it was better than it had ever been. I am just writing this because I had no idea this could happen to such an extreme. I am weary today with the struggle.
