Thank you all - this is helpful to know- I was diagnosed in August of this year 2023 - I have been put on Dupixent injections (every other weeks) which help limit the PN flair up and also the clobetasol propionate Ointment 0.05% to reduce inflammation- all of which helps - yet only controlling rather than curing- I believe PN is an autoimmune disorder

My initial flair of PN came from scratching mosquitoes bites- after that the PN flair up to my legs with more burning sensation than itching
I guess I need to learn to be patient with it - and best wishes to all for 2024

I don't think they're ever going to find a cure. But I'm hoping that they will. I'm sorry to all of you for having to deal with this horrible stuff I don't think any of us deserve it.

I think 4-Ever at least the almost 15 years I have dealt w/this horrific disease! Drug called Nemolizumab specifically for PN is supposed to be available for patents in March 2024, but is just to treat it as no cure, wah!😱

Good you are going on Dupixent this quickly. Most the Dermatologist i have seen seemed to dismiss my issue and one implied it was “all in my head” and that i was demanding an answer. They left that practice which was not a loss for the practice! I wish you well. please keep us posted . i am thinking about Dupixent.
