JOSH: Since RINVOQ, I no longer have to itch as much. Even the red from the rash started to go away.

Having long-term relief after all that time is—it feels great.

My name is Josh, I have moderate to severe eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis.

And this is my stepfather, Victor.

I’ve been on RINVOQ since 2019.

I was on the RINVOQ clinical trial.

After being on RINVOQ, my itch is a second thought. It’s no longer my main concern, and rash as well. I don’t feel the need to cover up as much.

Today, I feel a lot more comfortable in my skin.

Growing up, everybody treated me different, looked at me different.

VICTOR: As his dad, it was—it’s hard to say you’ve got to stop itching, stop itching, stop scratching.

JOSH: Skating was very difficult. I’d take a couple pushes, I’d start sweating a little bit, and I couldn’t help but to itch. It was hard to focus on doing tricks.

I want to say my rash looked like, as red as a tomato.

VICTOR: I really admire most his motivation, his ability never to give up.

JOSH: Victor has done so much for me, between taking me to doctor’s appointments, making sure I’m on the right medication, and even just giving emotional support.

VICTOR: It was very good to see Joshua at the skatepark, being able to practice without being distracted by his itch.

JOSH: Over time, I’m definitely feeling better about my skin.

VICTOR: As parents, seeing him have that relief, it’s great.

JOSH: It does still surprise me every day.

My best advice is just keep trying, keep looking.

VICTOR: Find a dermatologist that’s willing to go the extra mile with you.

JOSH: Having relief for this long, the change that I’ve experienced, I’m grateful for it. I went through all that just to finally find an outcome that worked for me, and I’m ecstatic for it.
