I was in the doctor's office with my mom recently and read this magazine saying that they have developed this new breakthrough drug for eczema, the immune dry skin disorder. It is called dupilumab and is a weekly injection that targets the disorder directly. My kids used to take corticosteroids to ease the itching, which carried the risk of side effects. This new treatment apparently has none. Have you ever suffered from eczema (itchy dry skin)?

This looks very interesting, will try to find out if it's available over here! Valerie
Not me but someone I know has it real bad.
this is good info Christine, my niece used to have it bad, I am not sure if she still suffered occasionally now
I've never suffered from it but my younger daughter did during her baby/toddler years. Thankfully, she outgrew it.
Interesting. I've had it for many years.
My sister has had bouts of it.
Really interesting Christine!
Fortunately I have never suffered from eczema.
This new drug sounds hopeful Christine.
Thanks for the information.

you're welcome, Peggy!
I'm glad to hear that something without side effects is being offered! Good to know, thanks!
