Does baseline facial dermatitis in a patient with AD cause hesitation when starting Dupixent due to conjunctivitis-related complications, especially when there are many available options?

Yes, I definitely do consider this. Not necessarily because of conjunctivitis but because I’ve seen a significant number of patients with “dupilumab facial redness or reaction” with out-of-proportion head/neck flaring in AD patients. In patients with significant facial involvement at baseline, I pre...
