Hello- has anyone had any experience with Dupixent for Grover’s itching relief? I have tried many of your suggestions and have not had much relief.
My dermatologist is suggesting Dupixent. Thanks so much.

I would love to try Dupixent as nothing else is working very well. The issue is that it is not FDA approved for Grover's, but is approved for Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema) and my dermatologist won't put me in for it because she would be lying. It's unaffordable unless approved so if your Dr can get you approved I would definitely try it. I may start looking for a dermatologist that can do that for me. Good luck!

My name is Susan. I’m 81 years old and 2 years ago was diagnosed with Grovers. The rash extended over my back, front arms and legs. I need not describe the torment, you will all be familiar with it. Various topical creams and such gave relief for 2 hours at most. My social life became drastically curtailed.
Last October my dermatologist prescribed Dupixent. It has been nothing short of a miracle. The rash disappeared after the first month and has not come back. I have experienced no side effects whatsoever. I have experienced some unexpected benefits such as the disappearance of some “age spots” and renewed hair growth.
The downside is that Dupixent is expensive. If you are rich, no problem, if you have a low income Dupixent will help you out. If you are in the middle like most of us, paying for Dupixent may be difficult. My doctor has helped me with some free doses and I have now budgeted Dupixent into my life, because it has been transformative.
I believe Dupixent is FDA approved for eczema if not for Grovers. I do hope my experience will reassure you and help you make your decision. Good luck to all.
