Anyone treated for Bullous Pempigoid?

My husband has been treated for bullous pempigoid for 7 weeks. He was diagnosed with a biopsy. I’m assuming the diagnosis was correct. His dr didn’t want to give steroids so they put him on Dupixent. Well, here we are 7 weeks later and it got worse so they put him on 40 mg of pretisone a day. A steroid. Been on it for 4 weeks with the Dupixent. No change. Meanwhile this medication costs $800.00 a month. Very discouraging. I would stay away from this medication. I wish I had an answer. So sorry.

Dermatogist wanted to put me on this Biologic; however, I refused because of price; in procoss of retiring and getting Medicare plus Dermatogist had diagnosed my condition as SCLE over a year ago. In process of getting new referral for a dermatogist gor second opinion. So frustrating.
