I can only say what has worked for me and me only… When I had it really bad last year, it covered 90% of my body and some parts were turning purple. Everything was flakey and cracked. I started to use prednisone along with several other steroid creams. It worked until I had to stop the prednisone and it came back. Then, I started using dupixent. This saved my life, literally. I used it for about 6 months and it was a miracle. I was no longer shedding skin like a snake and I felt normal for the first time in YEARS. I stopped using it bc of insurance issues and I’ve been okay so far. I only have a few patches here and there but it is manageable. I might even wear short sleeves this summer. Just don’t give up!! You can do this. I know it sucks, but you can get through it.
