Prurigo Nodularis

Prurigo nodularis (PN) is a chronic skin disorder characterized by multiple, firm, flesh-to-pink colored papules, plaques, and nodules predominantly found on the extensor surfaces of the extremities. These lesions are intensely pruritic and manifest across diverse age groups. PN often coexists with other cutaneous hypersensitivity disorders, such as atopic dermatitis or chronic pruritus, making its diagnosis primarily clinical yet necessitating differentiation from similar conditions like lichen simplex chronicus or hypertrophic lichen planus. Dermoscopy and histopathology serve as crucial tools for diagnostic confirmation in challenging cases. Management of PN encompasses a multifaceted approach involving potent antipruritics, immunomodulators, and neuromodulators tailored to patients’ specific needs. Long-term therapy is often necessary as PN tends to be refractory to conventional treatments, emphasizing the importance of patient education, counseling, and compliance. This activity reviews the evaluation and comprehensive management strategies for PN, highlighting the role of the interprofessional team in caring for patients with this debilitating skin condition, considering both its physical and psychological ramifications.
