I know this must be upsetting and unbearable for you.. It sounds like the clothes and bedding may need to be rewashed (what a hassle) but it may be what needs to occur. I would ask the dermatologist about how to control the reoccurrance of infections. I'm so sorry that you are experiencing this.

While infections can be associated with prurigo nodularis, the issue with clothes sticking may be more related to environmental factors that can trigger PN symptoms. Heat, humidity, and sweat can all affect how your clothes interact with your skin. Additionally, certain fabric materials like polyester can cause increased irritation and discomfort.

To help manage this situation, try wearing loose-fitting clothes made from natural, breathable materials. Avoid synthetic fabrics that tend to create static and stick to the skin. When washing clothes, use fragrance-free and dye-free detergents designed for sensitive skin. Keep in mind that PN can develop anywhere on the body where skin contact occurs, so clothing that constantly rubs or sticks to your skin might contribute to irritation. Focus on keeping your skin cool and dry, as both heat and sweat can trigger PN symptoms and potentially make clothing feel more clingy or uncomfortable.
