Should I ask my doctor for access to eczema injections such as dupixent if I am not mistaken?

21-year-old womana year ago

I have had eczema since I was very young and have always used cortisone and moisturizing creams (with urea or cutibase and elidel). However, I feel that despite the creams, I am not able to take control of my skin (I have patches all over).

Hello, this is worth evaluating. If you meet your insurance's reimbursement criteria, this could indeed be an option.

How do I know if I can access this type of option?

Each insurance has specific criteria for reimbursement. It would be to see with them their conditions of coverage, but otherwise yes it is possible, but as it costs at least 1500$ per month, they are strict in the criteria.

You see in the attachment, it is an example of criteria to respect. It depends on the severity, the area affected, the score on the eczema scale, etc. You don't lose anything by asking.
