Daniela Velasco's skin looks healthy for the first time in 4 years.

"You see that it's quite normal now. It's unbelievable."

Velasco suffers with severe eczema.

The painful, itchy flareups would keep her up all night.

"The itch doesn't go away."

In August, Velasco joined a study at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York that's testing a new drug called Dupilumab.

She says the skin on her legs went from this...to this in just 10 days.

"Literally, they were disappearing, the wounds were closing. And it was such a quick change, so dramatic. Like from being extremely miserable to like, woah, this is what it feels like to be normal again."

85 percent of the patients in the study taking the drug experienced similar results.

Dr. Emma GuttmanYassky lead the research which found eczema is an immune driven disease.
