I did not have itching for 2 years or so but I now have some lesions that really itch. Of course this is the cause of the itch, scratch cycle they use to make us believe this is the reason for this disorder. I just started having scaly, open sores with scabs and no itching, so I’d appreciate these MDs keeping that idea for themselves 😄 I find that when a wound does begin to itch it’s a deep, must attend to that sensation type itch. Many times if I can lift just the outer edge or portion of the crust or scab on that lesion the itch immediately subsides. It’s like the newer skin underneath the lesion needs air, it’s being suffocated. Thankful you’re not experiencing itch cycles and hope it doesn’t begin for you.

Prurigo nodularis (PN) typically involves intense itching, but not everyone experiences this symptom. The condition can vary greatly among individuals. Here are some key points about PN based on my knowledge base:

- Diagnosis: PN is often diagnosed through a skin biopsy, which looks for specific immune cells and keratin levels.
- Symptoms: While itching is common, some people may not experience it. PN can still cause skin lesions and nodules.
- Variability: The presentation of PN can differ, and not all cases follow the typical pattern.

If you have concerns about your symptoms, it's best to discuss them with your dermatologist.
