Interesting product. I did not know about it.

A friend of mine uses Dupixent and I asked him about it and he said he gets it prescribed by a dermatologist named Dr. Ryan Sato. He said his friend's insurance is HMSA. He said that without insurance it would cost him $1,000 a bottle, and that he has a friend who has Kiser insurance and gets his prescriptions from other doctors. Sorry I don't know the details as it is not my own, but I hope I can be of some help.

Thanks for the useful information. I am just glad to know the fact that I can actually get it in Hawaii.
Thank you for even telling us what type of insurance you have. I was really wondering how to get it after I come to the US, since it is a special medicine that is not yet recognized.
I will use this as a reference.

My son used them until last year.
Both hospital and insurance are Kaiser.
They won't give you ointment or drink medicine without test results that don't work, so if you are still in Japan and it is possible,
I think it would go smoothly if you get your current certificates and test results from your doctor.

The cost is about $ 700 for 3 months of one injection every 2 weeks, self-injection.
The reason I stopped was because my son got married and was told that it could affect his children if he continued.
I have now changed to UV treatment.

I myself have been in Hawaii for 30 years, but
in Japan, it was so bad that I got Zurumuke.
but in Hawaii, I feel better
because of the climate, humidity and clean air.
But my son was fine as a child, but it started to get worse when he was in high school.

Dupixent was developed in the U.S., so I think you can get a prescription from a dermatologist.
But it is expensive.

Thank you for your valuable experience. I will try to prepare the certificate of prescription in Japan. I often hear that symptoms improve under Hawaiian environment.
I hope it will be the same for me ・ ・ ・.
For 3 months' worth ＄ 700, certainly not cheap.
I will be happy to help.

If you are a traveler, would it be safer to receive treatment in Japanese back in your country
rather than worrying about the language in a foreign country? If I am a traveler, can I purchase traveler's insurance upon entering the U.S.?

You could ask at an agency that handles insurance.

1 ， Dr. Shimizu is at The View Dental Specialty Center. He has helped me a lot with root canal treatment and other treatments. He is a very good doctor.
2 ， I had a colonoscopy about a year ago. Dr. Chester Zahn performed the colonoscopy and it was completely painless.

"Remaining root extraction" I don't understand. If you extract a tooth, there won't be any root left.
Don't you do root canal treatment without extracting the tooth, leaving the root ？
There are root canal treatment specialists in Japan these days. I know of one in Nagoya. We only accept referral patients from general dentists. Of course, it is self-pay treatment.

In the U.S., specialties are separated, so doctors who do this and that are ？.
There are many general dentists who speak Japanese, so if you go to one of them and ask for a consultation,
they will refer you to an appropriate specialist. If you ask for a letter of referral and explanation
at that time, you may feel comfortable even with a specialist who does not speak Japanese.
There used to be a Japanese-American root canal specialist in Montebello.
Dr. did not speak Japanese, but his wife, the receptionist, did.

I think that even travelers can get insurance, but it may not be available immediately ？
Besides, isn't the amount of dental insurance coverage fixed ？ and isn't the Japanese National Health Insurance special, which covers both medical and dental
and is available immediately after you get in?

And dental insurance has a fixed amount of coverage. You mentioned painless colonoscopists, but in the U.S. it is common to use general anesthesia
so pain is not a factor.

I had a misunderstanding about "remaining root extraction."
So you are not leaving the root, but extracting the remaining root? My apologies for my lack of knowledge. I will correct it.

I don't think anything was taken, but there are signs that it has entered the house without permission while I was out.

If it really is milia, there is no dirt, sebum, or plaque stuck inside that pockmarked little wart-like thing.
It means it is a harmless cyst ？ of dead skin cells trapped under the skin. They disappear naturally
but I read in an article in Woman's Health that the only thing you can do if you are really concerned about them is to have them removed by a dermatologist or use a skin smoothing cream
such as retinol, to speed up the process.
In other words, over-the-counter medications won't help, and if you can't wait for it to go away, go to a dermatologist or esthetician.
It's pointless to crush it because it's not clogged up with anything, and it will cause inflammation and more trouble, so I guess I should leave it alone ？.
