About Prurigo Nodularis (PN)

Prurigo nodularis (PN) is a chronic dermatosis characterized by the presence of intensely itchy, symmetrically distributed hyperkeratotic nodules. While the exact pathophysiology of the disease is not fully understood, it develops in the context of dermatologic, systemic, and neuropsychiatric disease conditions. Prevalence in the United States is estimated at 72 patients per 100,000 persons, although the real numbers are thought to be much higher.1
