10 Frequently Asked Questions about Prurigo Nodularis
3. What are the Symptoms of Prurigo Nodularis?
The condition causes hard, crusty nodules to form on the skin, most of which itch intensely. Most commonly found on the extremities, the dry sores tend to be located near old scars. Depending on the individual, the bumps may itch constantly, especially at night, or only when brushed against clothing. More often than not, scratching leads to pain and bleeding.
