Isn’t that stuff basically chemotherapy? It shuts down your immune system?

that’s generally a liver issue and I would start investigating NATURAL healing for the liver and stay away from drugs. They are never meant to heal; only cover up symptoms.
You might want to find a reputable Naturath in your area...it will cost you, but likely save $$ and health in the long run

Have sent a prayer. Otherwise, can only recommend researching the treatments recommended so that you can both keep an eye on what’s helping and what isn’t or what might be detrimental.
Good luck and best wishes.
Ivermectin Horse paste- cheap- rub it on.It has helped me and friends in so, so many ways. A woman I know rubbed it on her pre- cancerous ( Melanoma?) spot, three weeks later- healed.
One of my daughters had an issue like this. Fresh raw Aloe Vera sap applied topically and left on helped clear them up great. But of course that doesn’t cure the issue causing them.
My wife had a similar auto immune disease called Bullous Pempigoid. They treat it with cellcep, which is a cancer drug. Unfortunately, it is unusable, but curable. She should consult with a dermatologist if she hadn’t already.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dupilumab
“Dupilumab, sold under the brand name Dupixent, is a monoclonal antibody blocking interleukin 4 and interleukin 13, used for allergic diseases such as eczema (atopic dermatitis), asthma and nasal polyps which result in chronic sinusitis.[4][5][6][2] It is also used for the treatment of eosinophilic esophagitis[7] and prurigo nodularis.[8]”
so, what is the doc’s diagnosis, anyway? ... difficult to know what alternatives there might be without a specific diagnosis ... for example, if diagnosis is eczema AND wife has multiple autoimmune diseases, hydroxychloroquine, which is cheap and generally has a very low side-effect profile, can often work quite well... also, wife might need to see an allergist or rheumatologist given that so many dermatologists are practically worthless when it comes to autoimmune skin rashes ...
I’ve been using Dupixent for 3 yrs for atopic dermatitis. My skin on my face was red and cracked and I looked like the Thing. It took 4 months of every other week injections to clear it up. As an earlier poster wrote it blocks interleukins 4 and 13. I did some research on my own and discovered that for me WHEAT in any form would trigger an inflammation. I haven’t knowingly eaten WHEAT in 3 yrs and only have to inject every 6-10 weeks. I pay zero $ between my insurance and contacting the Dupixent mfgr for a help to pay for card?
Pharmacy tech here.
If you wish to stay with the pharmaceutical route, consult the doc about less expensive alternatives if they haven’t already been tried, and there is assistance available from the manufacturer.

I promise, these docs have NO clue what is expensive for your insurance, on backorder, etc. Have conversations about alternatives before leaving the office.
Homeopathy is the best route to take. Natural remedies, supplements, etc.
But there’s something else that she can try in addition, and it may just work to clear those awful sores—-
Boudreaux’s Butt Paste.
Kills and clears up any kind of weird sore that nothing else seems to work on. Dries it up, clears it up. Then use Aloe Vera gel (not straight from the plant but the regular they sell in stores with or without lidocaine).
Heals the scars up or prevents them.
Has she taken the covid shot? If so, could it be an immune system reaction? If so, one of the vaxx detox protocols (with Ivermectin) might be something to consider.
Also, IVM (oral or topical cream) is used to treat a variety of dermatological conditions.

My question is: What other prescribed medications is your wife taking?
Meds can cause some bad side effects and the typical doctor is often all too eager to prescribe another drug to counteract the side effects.
Just my 2 cents.
Please take a look at time-restricted feeding.
Sometimes known as intermittent fasting.
In addition, the lower intestine’s health is critical to the health of a person. Inflammation is directly related to the foods we eat, and how out body processes those foods is very important.
Remember, “pharmacology is toxicology”. Medicines are a kind of poison.
Yes.
My daughter went through a year and a half of the burning, itching, scratching. Nothing the doctors gave her helped.
Now, here’s the kicker. She went to the dentist for a tooth cleaning and the dentist noticed an enlargement in her upper gum so they called for a scan. She had an abscess the size of a walnut that went into her nasal cavity.
It never hurt, ached, or caused her any discomfort but a slight stuffy nose. They drained and packed the abscess and all that itching, scratching and dry skin cleared right up.
The dentist was amazed that she had no symptoms or pain and said it was a case for the books.
I have a friend who said when she was young she had something on her leg that would never heal or go away and her aunt mashed up a plantain leaf and put it on there, and it healed up.
The Amish have different salves you could try, like this plantain one, on Lehman’s web site.

I recently got a bad rash on top of my feet from something used in a pedicure (lotion or whatever.) It lasted a week, and I used those salves plus Benedryl cream.
When I was in my 20’s I had a horrible case of poison ivy with weeping skin lesions and was given steroids and some other medication that I was instructed to not use alcohol while taking it as it could slow down breathing rate and such. Follow that advice if they give her such medication (woke up at three p.m. the next day after one glass of wine.) Sorry, can’t recall what it was.
