Where Is The Weirdest Spot You've Had Pns?

A MyPrurigoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Denver, CO

I have been diagnosed for several years and just recently had another pn on one of my eyelids! I have one in a fold of one ear and probably like most of you, have had private areas infected, too. I find it weird how both my arms are affected, along with my scalp and neck, but the pns are only on one hand (over and over again) and one leg! Interestingly enough, the leg that is infected is NOT the leg I had my knee surgery on, but they also didn't put any appliances in at the time or replace… read more

I have nodules on legs right at back. Just saw new Dermatologist who was excellent!! Froze those on left side of body, injected steroids right side to see which worked best, it’s definitely injected area healing faster & have been pain free since appointment, even took painless shower for first time in at least a year. Think I’ve found the best so far, he was amazing, thoughtful, knowledgeable 🙏🙏❤️❤️

I got my arms and back. I got to say that by taking Methotrexate it is greatly improved and no new breakouts. Hope you all remain well.

Hi Kristi
I've luckily never had the nodules on my private parts -- yet!!
But everywhere else yes!
Just started to get them on my scalp but they are not itchy yet thank goodness- only time will tell I guess
It is a very rare weird scarey itchy painful disease for sure
Even my family doctor had no idea what it was
The dermatologist did a biopsy and finally diagnosed it
They should be teaching this in medical school but I guess GP'S cant know everything they rely on the specialists
Knee surgery is also very painful and serious 💜 I guess it could also depend on what medications you are taking and definitely stress makes it worse for sure🤯
Take care and hang in there
Have a nice weekend
