I have never known that there was medicine (such as pills or shots available) I've only used topical treatment . I am hoping for the best for you!
Maggie, I'm happy that you learned that there are alternatives. If the topical are not providing sufficient relief, then you have some direction.
I have been on Dupixent and Rinvoq. It didn’t help me. I have started Adbry so will see if this helps.
Lo, Dupixent was not effective for me. My dermatologist and I are in discussion about alternatives. She did inform me that it is not an easy process and it involves trying options to determine which will be the most effective for me. Rinvoq is under consideration. As with any prescribed medication, the side effects as they relate to you and your co-morbidities must be considered. Good luck.
