I bleed too. In fact pretty badly. My lesions are painful, and leave scars. My husband says my arms look ugly 😪
When the lesions are open, I apply 3% hydrogen peroxide. It seems to calm them down.
I'm glad that you mentioned this. Over the past few weeks, I have noticed very thin skin on my lesions that bleeds at the slightest touch. I suspect that it is because Dupixient is causing my lesions to flatten, but I am uncertain. Right now, I am keeping my nails shorter than usual and wearing band-aids when I wear light-color clothing. I'll raise this issue with my dermatologist at our next visit.
I found that when one of the 8 Dermas injected Cortisone shots in my scalp where my PN is that my skin became thin & started to feel lumpy! So after 4 or 5 times of 9-10 injections on my scalp I moved on to another Derma! I found Cortisone for PN is not all what it is cracked up to be, & when I say cracked the PN & LSC on my scalp are so thick and crusty from itch-scratch cycle that I do not have much bleeding, but plaque & scrabs that are totally thick, red, & inflamed which are beyond painful & SORE! I just ordered some Gold Bond Medicated Maximum Strength Pain and Itch Cream, and also some Gotucream for PN, but knowing from my 15 years with dealing with this, I am almost positive these will not help, but when you're desperate for some relief I will give it try. So many other products, I have had to return. My last hope is Nemolizumab which was supposed to be approved by the FDA and available to patients sooner than later but looks like later as I cannot find any accurate release date, UGH! I so hope you will be able to find some relief Donna7 as what works for some, doesn't work for others! Positive and healing vibes sent your way!❤️
It is devasating to lose our clear skin. I know how you feel and am sending you a virtual hug and prayers.
