Researchers have found that people with prurigo nodularis (PN) are more likely to have other immune-mediated or autoimmune diseases. For example, PN is associated with:

- Crohn’s disease (affects the digestive tract)
- Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (affects the thyroid)
- Atopic dermatitis (a type of eczema)
- Psoriasis (causes skin inflammation)

Yes I have hypothyroidism and metastatic breast cancer. They say pacitaxol can cause the PN . I think so cause when I had my chemo 20 years ago is when it showed up, never stopped got a little after, recently the cancer has progressed to my bones and they tried 2 doses of pacitaxol to see if it would help. It didn’t and I had a huge nodule bigger then a half dollar come out and. It had to be drained and I was in hospital for 3 days on IV antibiotics.
