Members shared their frustration with prurigo nodularis lesions that seem to move unpredictably across the body, appearing and disappearing in different locations like shoulders, thighs, neck, face, and buttocks with no clear pattern. Several members described finding temporary relief by removing a core from the nodules, even though this goes against medical advice, and noted that these lesions often leave deep holes that ooze for weeks before slowly healing. A recurring theme was the difficulty of resisting scratching despite doctors' warnings, the challenge of getting an accurate diagnosis from general practitioners, and the solidarity of living with a rare and poorly understood condition that keeps them awake at night.

I am up in the night, sting, itch. I see the derivation tomorrow. He is going to yell at the scratches but it seems the sores have a core. If I don't get it out, it just festers. Anyone have this?

I agree with the core thing in some of them. After all that finally comes out they leave a hole in my body that will scab over for awhile then will ooze for weeks before they will start closing and trying to heal.

Hope your appointment with the dermatologist went well today
It's easy for the doctors or anyone to just say STOP SCRATCHING
Easier said than done
My family doctor didnt even have the foggiet idea as to what it was for a couple of months -didnt seem to think it was " all that bad or not that serious:
I had to tell him to refer me to a dermatologist and after waiting for a couple of months I got an appointment and took a biopsy and within 2 weeks had this PN diagnosis
I guess that's why GP's refer people to specialist
At least now my family doctor knows and got enlightened about what it is iand how terrible it is in case another patient comes in with similar symptoms
I wouldnt wish this on anyone
It's a mysterious/mystery disease for sure
Take care
Bye for now
Have a nice weekend
