prurigo nodularis Prurigo Nodularis (PN) is a chronic skin condition characterized by the formation of hard, itchy nodules on the skin.  While the physical symptoms are often the most visible aspect of this condition, the impact of Prurigo Nodularis extends far beyond the skin.  This article explores how Prurigo Nodularis affects daily life, from physical discomfort to emotional and social challenges. Understanding Prurigo Nodularis Prurigo Nodularis typically presents as raised, thickened areas of skin that can become intensely itchy. These nodules can occur anywhere on the body but are most commonly found on the arms, legs, and trunk. The constant urge to scratch can lead to a cycle of irritation, injury, and infection, further complicating the condition.
