Prurigo nodularis (PN) can cause darkened flat spots where nodules once were.

Prurigo nodularis (PN) can cause darkened flat spots where nodules once were. This is due to the intense itching and scratching associated with the condition, which can lead to scarring and changes in skin pigmentation. It's important to avoid picking at the nodules to prevent further skin damage and potential infections. If you have concerns, discussing treatment options with your doctor can help manage symptoms and improve your skin's appearance.

It leaves dark spots. My doctor says 1 part bleach to 3 parts water
Good luck!

My dermatologist told me that the darkness will fade over time(period of months). I've been faithful in treating my legs with moisturizer for extra dry skin. Lubriderm Advanced Therapy or Eucerin that is gel based. I purchased Eucerin for dry compromised skin but it's pretty thick. My dermatologist said pay dry and apply while the skin is damp.
