Hi Mary Lou.
Thank you for your full and interesting answer. These truly are the most hideous spots in all their various stages :- itching, painful, bleeding, crusty and - as if that’s not enough -
finally, scarring.
My heart goes out to all fellow sufferers. ❀️

Prurigo nodularis (PN) nodules are dome-shaped lesions that can feel hard and bumpy. These nodules may have an indent in the center, known as "pitted." The composition and structure of each nodule can vary based on factors like duration, scratching, and skin thickness around it.

Regarding pain, PN can be intensely itchy Show Full Answer

Prurigo nodularis (PN) nodules are dome-shaped lesions that can feel hard and bumpy. These nodules may have an indent in the center, known as "pitted." The composition and structure of each nodule can vary based on factors like duration, scratching, and skin thickness around it.

Regarding pain, PN can be intensely itchy and may cause discomfort. Scratching can lead to excoriations (skin tearing) and increase the risk of infection, which might change the appearance and sensation of the nodules.

For more detailed information, you can refer to the article "What Does Prurigo Nodularis Look Like? Pictures for Reference" on MyPrurigoTeam.

That sounds like mine. I have found that Aveeno baby eczema soothing therapy bath treatment with colloidal oatmeal takes away the itch, so the sore heals and never develops further. I use the product as a paste for a small area or in a bath. Both work.

My nodules begin as a red bump that itches. They resemble an insect bite. They become painful if I allow them to completely develop.
