What Causes Prurigo Nodularis? Read Article...

Yes, all of my lesions do not itch. Tiny small bumps may start to itch and that's when I know it's one coming. I either get some hydrocortisone on and bandaid or Cordran Tape. If they get out of control , the lesion hurts so bad, very painful. The one on my forearm, the pain radiates down the nerve, but no itching.

Even though some things say it's just an itching disease, not everyone itches, and not every kind of bump/lesion will itch, as well as, there are no rules that PN follows.

Stella-I have such a weird scalp sensation. If you touch my forehead if feels like someone pulls my hair in the back. I use to turn around to see if someone pulls it, it feels that real. Some days it itches horribly and many days it does not, but it burns and hurts most days. I feel like I have a tight cap on my head. It is a claustrophobic feeling that I truly hate. I feel it is very neurological, well so do “they.” I have some pretty serious auto-immune diseases but this one consumes me. I LOVE the good days!!
