Yes, prurigo nodularis (PN) lesions can sometimes be misconstrued as other skin conditions, including warts. Here are some key points to help differentiate:

- PN Lesions:
- May appear as dome-shaped nodules with an indent in the center.
- Can be pink, red, brown, black, or the color of your skin.
- Often associated with intense itching and scratching, leading to thickened skin and scarring.
- Lesions may be spread out or grouped together.

- Warts:
- Typically have a rough surface and may have black dots (clotted blood vessels).
- Usually not associated with intense itching or widespread distribution.

If there's any doubt, a dermatologist can provide a definitive diagnosis by examining the cells under a microscope.
