This case report discusses a 67-year-old woman with Netherton syndrome (NS), a genetic disorder characterized by skin inflammation and hair defects, specifically Trichorrhexis invaginata (TI). The patient was treated with dupilumab, a biologic known for addressing cutaneous inflammation. After 3 months, the patient experienced significant improvements in skin rash, pruritus, and quality of life.
