For those with prurigo nodularis (PN) and extreme skin sensitivity, choosing the right fabrics is crucial, especially for long sleeves in warmer weather. Here are some recommendations:

- Soft, breathable fabrics: Opt for materials like cotton or bamboo, which are gentle on the skin and allow for better air circulation.
- Avoid harsh fabrics: Stay away from rough or irritating materials like wool or synthetic fabrics that can exacerbate itching.
- Lightweight fabrics: Choose lightweight options to stay cool and reduce sweating, which can worsen PN symptoms.

These choices can help manage skin irritation and improve comfort.
