Members responding to the question about long-term Prurigo Nodularis diagnoses shared that many had lived with the condition for 8 to 15 years or more before receiving a proper diagnosis, highlighting how rarely recognized the disease is among general practitioners. Several members discussed possible triggers including vaccines, insect bites, and autoimmune responses, while others shared treatment experiences with Dupixent, noting mixed results. A recurring theme was the importance of self-advocacy, seeking dermatologist referrals with biopsy confirmation, and leaning on humor and community support to cope with this rare and often misunderstood condition.
