I guess it all depends on current symptoms as well. If you’re able to start with or after a small flare up you may have better results than if you’re full blown lesions all over. My dermatologist, who is a private practitioner not some corporate money making quack, is super excited that this product is out due to the safer side effects than others out there and the fact that it affects Il-7 and il-7f I believe. So it treats a bit more than humira. Not to say that humira wouldn’t work or that it’s “bad” he just believes bemzelx is better. I trust this guy as he’s treated me with nothing but the utmost respect and care. Only time will tell if your daughter or I have any of the side effects or any of the success……hopefully as we continue with life better products continue to come out. I am sending you and your daughter prayers cause this doesn’t only affect the affected…….this disease needs to be treated by more than one with love and compassion. Bless you! ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thank you for your answer and kind words. This disease is cruel and I'm desperate to find her some relief.
We tried Humira, it worked for a while and now seems to have lost it's effect.
I'm nervous to have her try a "new" biologic but because it attacks 2 types of inflamation we are giving it a shot.
It's very hard to watch my daughter in pain and little I can do to prevent/cure it 😔
Please let me know how you're doing on it.
I wish you positive results and relief from this horrible condition.
Best wishes 🤞🏻
