How Long Does It Take For Dupixent To Do Anything, I've Been Using It For About 7 Months Nothing Has Changed

I’ve been on Dupixent for nearly 3 months now, and I’d say I’m a partial responder at this point. Initially, I saw some improvement in the first few days. Some of my nodules started to shrink and the leathery skin started to disappear. Nothing had ever worked for me, so I knew this drug was a step in the right direction. Then after 6 weeks, things started to slow down and I had another flare up (likely due to another autoimmune-related condition). A spot on my cheek that had disappeared for a while had unfortunately returned. I went to my dermatologist and asked her to freeze off the leathery skin from my face and legs, which she did using cryotherapy/liquid nitrogen. Since I am on Dupixient, I noticed that my leathery skin hasn’t returned yet after the skin has been frozen off. Not a magic bullet but major progress for me. I’m hopeful again. My hope is that Dupixient works for you.
