Enzema can only be kept under control, it cannot be totally cured.

My leg has dark patches cause by excezma. Is he able to help “whiten” it?

Ask before and was advised that the best way is to naturally allow the dark patches to lighten on it own, as the cream is not very effective.

Mine isn't really eczema, more of hives (I supposed). And I read that Dr Tan is more into this area compared to Dr Chu.

My dermatologist is also telling me to go for that but the high cost is a factor. Plus I have tried ciclosporin and once you stop it everything comes back.

I am on dupixent for the past year, the cost is around $1.4k a jab and I need to take 2 jabs per month.

Cost is fortunately covered by my company. The medication works wonder and I am not on any steroid creams/ oral medication. I just apply moisturisers twice a day and feel like a normal person otherwise.

End of the day, dupixent is still a suppressant and not a cure. It does come back if I go more than 2-3 weeks without the jabs. Once, my company stops covering it, I will be back to MTX more likely.
