Abstract
Dupilumab facial redness (DFR), or the development of an eczematous rash of the face and neck with dupilumab use, has been observed in recent case reports. It is estimated to impact between 4 and 43.8% of dupilumab users, including children and adults. Aside from reviewing the pathogenesis and clinical presentation, we present potential diagnostic steps (such as skin scraping, serologies, biopsy, and patch testing) and management options for DFR ranging from allergen avoidance to dupilumab interruption. It is hoped that this article will serve as a means for clinicians to familiarize themselves with DFR regarding the differential diagnosis, diagnostic tools, and treatment options associated with this phenomenon.
