Tyler,
Real patient. Individual
results may vary.
Eczema can be a difficult condition to
navigate. If you or a loved one are
suffering from moderate-to-severe
eczema that isn't well controlled,
partnering with a specialist might be the
appropriate next step.
Eczema specialists are specifically
trained in conditions relating to the
skin, including chronic skin conditions
with underlying inflammation.
Specialists often have more experience
treating eczema cases that are more
severe and not well controlled on
topical prescription therapies.
A specialist can help create
a
personalized care plan
for
your eczema.

Tess:
When you have a chronic condition like eczema, you really learn to make the most of your doctor’s appointments.
For me, that meant figuring out how to talk about my treatment goals with my doctor, so we can work together as a team. And it’s been a game changer.
Hi, I’m Tess. Today, I’m going to share some techniques I use to strengthen my partnership with my doctor—maybe they can help you too.
I’ll share tips on how to prepare for your appointment, including how to identify the goal of your visit, relaxation techniques you can try before your appointment, and useful ways to communicate clearly with your doctor.
The first thing I like to do is come prepared. Before I go to my appointment, I ask myself: what’s my goal for this visit? I like to write the answer down.
I also write down any other questions I want to remember to ask—usually in order of importance in case I run out of time. This helps me keep my appointment on track and reminds me of what I’m here to accomplish.
Today, my goal is asking about DUPIXENT and how it might help clear my skin and alleviate my itchiness.
My current treatment plan is prescription topicals, and well…my eczema still feels uncontrolled.
I made notes ahead of time about my signs and symptoms, their severity, and what I want to improve.
I also took clear photos on my phone to show my doctor how my eczema has been looking, especially after flare-ups. And I listed the medications I’m currently taking.
This will help my doctor understand what’s happening with my skin and what my current treatment has been, even if my symptoms are not as severe on the day of my appointment.
I also did some research on DUPIXENT.com and used the doctor discussion guide on the website, which helped prepare me to talk about DUPIXENT.
