I'm sorry to hear that your prurigo nodularis is flaring up again. Here are some key points about prurigo nodularis (PN) based on your knowledge base:

- Nodules Formation: PN causes hard bumps or nodules to form on the skin due to intense itching and scratching.
- Appearance: These nodules can be red, pink, black, or brown and may vary in size.
- Itch-Scratch Cycle: The itching can lead to more scratching, which in turn causes more nodules to form.
- Infection Risk: Picking at nodules can lead to bacterial infections, making the nodules red, swollen, and possibly filled with pus.
- Scarring: Over time, scratching can cause thickened skin and scarring.

It's important to consult with your dermatologist to manage this flare-up and break the itch-scratch cycle.
