Yes, itching is a key symptom for diagnosing Prurigo Nodularis (PN). The condition is characterized by intensely itchy skin, which leads to the formation of nodules or lesions due to the itch-scratch-itch cycle. This chronic pruritus (itchiness) is a significant factor that dermatologists look for when diagnosing PN.
