That's wonderful that Dupixent has helped break the itch cycle for you! The dark spots left behind can be frustrating, but there are options that may help.

The dark spots (hyperpigmentation) are often a result of inflammation and scratching. While Dupixent addresses the underlying inflammation, the discoloration can take time to fade on its own.

Here are some approaches that may help clear dark spots:

* Topical treatments like corticosteroids or anti-inflammatory creams
* Cryotherapy (freezing treatment) to help with skin texture and appearance
* Phototherapy (UV light treatment) which can help with both nodules and skin appearance
* Steroid injections directly into affected areas to reduce inflammation

It's important to talk with your dermatologist about which option might work best for your specific situation. They can assess your skin and recommend the safest, most effective treatment for clearing those dark spots while you continue managing your prurigo nodularis with Dupixent.

Keep in mind that skin healing takes time, and some discoloration may gradually fade as your skin continues to recover from the inflammation.
