# Traditional Hand Eczema Treatments May Face Obsolescence Ted Bosworth December 18, 2024 [2]()[55]()Add to Email Alerts NEW YORK, NY — For immediate control of a hand eczema flare, the old soak and smear approach with moisturizers or corticosteroids might live on, but they are moving to the back of

Recently started taking a new drug through a clinical trial called Abrocitinib (Made by Pfizer), it is an oral tablet once a day and from what my doctors have said it is comparable and even slightly more effective for people than Dupixent. I wanted to share my results, I have had severe eczema for 7

I've given a few updates on the trial I'm in for Abrocitinib over the past couple of years - thought I'd round it out now the trial is coming to an end. I think I last posted around the 18 month mark and said I felt the effects were wearing off and some mild eczema had returned. I'm happy to say th

I've had full body eczema since about 18 years old. I can't really remember what my skin was like before then. Managing my eczema has been such a big part of my adult life. But after 2 months on dupixent I feel like my skin has never been as smooth.. or as oily! It's honestly taking my brain a whil

Quick rant here! Because It’s getting annoying and frustrating that they always hype up the new drugs for eczema sufferers for example, the JAK inhibitors, and I’m so happy to read the results but they never want to discuss the adverse side effects. They always want to say it’s mild and that they’re

Is IV cyclosporine 3 mg/kg, for example, the same as PO cyclosporine 3 mg/kg? It seems like many providers treat it this way, 1:1 conversion but some sources online say 3:1? Could you help explain the difference in practice vs. online sources? Thank you!

Our department hired a new NP recently and is shadowing in clinic. She was asking about cyclosporine and I made an off the cuff remark that she shouldn't be too worried because she shouldn't be prescribing it anyway (after educating her about the labs to follow, doses etc.). When she leaves she says

Yesterday I was at work, sitting at my desk looking at my computer screen. I started to notice black splotches appearing in my vision, similar to what I have seen in the past when I have stood up too fast. I have never experienced this sitting down before but I wasn't alarmed and figured I'd wait it

this is about my aunt (female, late 50s, black, high BMI) just now. her reading came down to 195/97 on the arm cuff machine we have at home but im really worried. she’s already on BP meds (and a plethora of other meds). she started a regimen of cyclosporine for membranous nephropathy(sp?) and protei

I apologize for the strained wording. I tried to Google this but I couldn't figure out the right search terms. In the US, generally health insurance will not pay for medications prescribed for non-FDA-approved/"off-label" uses, and/or for compounded medications. It is completely legal to prescribe o

Hello all, I'm looking for advice/insight into my medical history. I'm a 38 year-old man, diagnosed with Autoimmune Hemolytic in Jan 2018. Since then I've relapsed twice, with the least severe episode being the last in OCT 2020. The first and last episodes were treated with oral corticosteroids, an

This is too much isn't it? I need advice!  I'm unsure which of my doctors can help me and hoping someone here can tell me which doctor to talk to, what questions to ask, and what I might be overlooking or misinterpreting. I live in East Texas. My husband has great health insurance, but we have v
