So this topic piqued my curiosity. I did a Google search on how to disinfect laundry. I discovered the following websites: www.wikihow.com; www.realsimple.com>Home>Cleaning>Laundry; www.bhg.com/home keeping/laundry/linens. These websites provided a variety of suggestions including using laundry sanitizer in your wash, sanitizing the washer itself and so on. Additionally, there is an antibacterial hand soap made by Dove. I have used it and continue to use it with no problems. Hope this helps you, Tamara. Good luck.

It sounds like something systemic is happening. I would contact the dermatologist and make an immediate appointment. If that is not a possibility, I would suggest a telemedicine visit if available or at the very least a phone conversation with the nurse. Explain what is happening and request a call back from the physician. Take care of yourself.

Yes, it's possible that your prurigo nodularis lesions could become infected, especially in areas where skin folds create warm, moist environments like under the breasts. When PN nodules become infected, they may leak fluid or pus that could stick to clothing. Infected areas may feel warm and tender to the touch, and you might notice white or yellow discharge. It's important to have a dermatologist examine any areas where you notice discharge, sticking to clothes, or new rashes, as they can determine if there's an infection present and prescribe appropriate treatment. They may need to take a small skin sample (biopsy) to confirm the exact cause and rule out other conditions. Keeping the affected areas clean and dry can help prevent secondary infections from developing.
