Prurigo Nodularis

Prurigo nodularis is a condition where repeated scratching or picking at a site creates itchy, raised, hard bumps on the skin. Prurigo nodularis can appear anywhere on the body, but is most commonly found on the arms, legs, trunk, or buttocks. The condition is more common in older individuals (over 50), Blacks, and those with certain long-term diseases (eczema, diabetes, kidney disease, Hepatitis C, HIV). Treatment involves breaking the itch-scratch cycle. Antihistamines, topical medications, and intralesional steroid injections are commonly used therapies.

Clinical Trials

DISCC offers clinical trials as an additional care option. These studies focus on new and emerging approaches to interrupt the itch-scratch cycle and improve long-term symptom control.

Patients receive clear explanations of studies and what their participation will involve. Joining a clinical trial is entirely optional. Our team provides close support and monitoring at every stage.
