Members discussed the potential use of capsaicin for scalp prurigo nodularis, with the original poster expressing desperation to try it despite concerns about the burning sensation of hot chili peppers on their scalp, ultimately deciding to stick with other moisturizers instead. Several members shared their excitement and knowledge about nemolizumab, a promising new drug currently in FDA review with Priority Review status for PN, though it's not expected to be available until 2026 and should not be confused with Nucala. A recurring theme was the frustration of limited treatment options, with one member recommending switching doctors if a dermatologist refuses to prescribe Dupixent, though another shared that Dupixent didn't work for them after 16 weeks of trying.
