Keratosis pilaris caused by dupilumab for the treatment of bronchial asthma

Abstract Here, we present two patients with bronchial asthma, who developed keratosis pilaris (KP) following treatment with dupilumab, a monoclonal antibody to IL‐4 receptor. Both of them reported pruritic papules in their extremities in 1 months after initiation of dupilumab therapy. The lesions ne...
