To prevent infections when you have prurigo nodularis sores, consider the following tips from my knowledge base:

- Bleach Baths: Diluted bleach baths can help reduce bacteria on the skin, which may lower the risk of infection. Use one cup of bleach in a full bath, but always consult your doctor first, especially if you have asthma or sensitivity to fumes.
- Salt Baths: Adding a cup of table salt to a full bath may reduce painful stinging and inflammation.
- Vinegar Baths: Similar to bleach, vinegar can kill bacteria on the skin. Add one cup or up to a full pint to your bath.

Always consult your healthcare provider before trying new treatments.
