My doctor has given me very little information, so if I haven’t discovered the hard way, I’m completely oblivious. For example I was still trying to wear make up until black stuff, assuming my eye liner, was coming out of my nose!! I’m a middle aged mom with a 3 year old and I’d really love to have moisturizer that’s safe to use, especially for my face!!! Thank you

Members came together with warmth and practical advice for a mom asking about safe moisturizers for Prurigo Nodularis, sharing favorites like Lubriderm, CeraVe, L'Oreal, and Bioderma Atoderm Shower Oil, with several noting dermatologist recommendations and budget-friendly options like Dove ceramide lotion and Ponds cream. Several members also shared their experiences with Dupixent, encouraging the original poster not to give up and to contact My Dupixent for insurance assistance. A recurring theme was deep emotional solidarity, with members relating to feeling dirty, isolated, and misunderstood, and offering compassion alongside practical guidance.

Dupixent has been working for me as a medical treatment for this nasty AF skin condition… but… for me Vaseline helps me especially during these winter months… oh and this wash definitely helps … I have a friend who’s a nurse and her daughter was recently diagnosed with PN
Bioderma Atoderm Shower Oil, it helps with the dryness and the nodules when my PN erupts … it hasn’t erupted in a while … don’t give up and it’s a trial and error … follow your heart and if you see something that might help… GO FOR IT! What is the worst that will happen… try try try until you find what’s good for you!!!

Praying for you and hope u find relief soon

Cereve Anti itch cream does a great job for me. I get it on Amazon, but you might find it locally as well. My Dermatologist highly recommended it to me.

As Tina suggested, I use Clobetesol on the new lesions that are not open. My dermatologist told me that once they progress to healing, I needed to back off.

Well, is it possible that they are healed nodule locations? I have some from when I scratched before I was told by the dermatologist not to scratch. I was told that it would take 6 months or longer for them to fade. Insurance issues are so frustrating. In my former career, part of my responsibilities was to deal with insurance approval (or certifications for various reasons). It might be a good idea to contact your insurer directly to determine what the issue is. It also may help to deal with "My Dupixent" to determine if they can provide assistance to you. Whatever you decide, don't give up!!!!
