Members responded warmly to the question about getting nodules to go away, agreeing there are no dumb questions and sharing that even specialists are still searching for answers about this rare condition. Several members shared treatments that have helped them manage nodules, including sulfur soap, NAC supplements, Derma Smooth, Clobetasol ointment, and steroid creams, while strongly advising against picking or scratching due to risks of infection and lasting scars. A recurring theme was that PN requires a great deal of patience, that treatment is often trial and error, and that community support helps members cope with the frustrating and ongoing nature of the disease.

About the nodules? The truth is that there are different types just as there are different strokes for different folks!

DonnaDownng ,& Jessicatoonkel
Hope U R both doing ok
Holiday weekend arriving as of tomorrow Yeah!
That is the million $$ question Jessica
Like Donna remarked there R no dumb or unimportant questions on this forum
We R all learning as we go & everyone even doctors R baffled by this rare condition
How do we get them 2 disappear 4ever?
Or @ least go into full remission
Even the specialists dont have an answer for that question
Is it even possible as it seems some members of this group have suffered with it 4 many years unfortunately 😫
One day @ a time is all we can do & hope 4 more research into this dastardly illness/ disease so we all get some answers & possibly one day a cure
Have a nice Labour day weekend
Hard 2 believe the official summer season is almost over
In Canada we celebrate with as well
Fall is my favorite time of year especially weather wise & the leaves all changeling colour 🍁
It's so beautiful & lovely
Fresh crisp air
No more humidity thank goodness
We have our Thanksgiving in October whereas I know in the USA U celebrate it in November 🦃
Take care ❤️
Bye 4 now

It depends on where the nodules are located. I get them on my scalp. What I find challenging is that I can feel one which is quite hard. Another one can Pop up and be sore to the touch and softer. I treat them the same way. Derma Smooth, Head and Shoulders Bare, and patience. I also get them on my lower legs near the ankle. Those I treat with Jukebox soap and Clobetasol ointment 0.05%. Patience and NAC twice a day.

Hello Jessica, nothing dumb about your question. I still have my first Nodules and it will be a year the 4th of September.
I have started using a cream with sulfur in it. I have seen great improvements, but I am not as bad as others. Fortunately I caught mine early.

With PN it takes a tremendous amount of patience. It came overnight but like an unwanted guest,it won't leave that fast.
At this point with all the unanswered questions,it boils down to trial and error for each individual.
