Yes, bruising or discoloration around prurigo nodularis lesions is common. The appearance of nodules can vary significantly, and they may appear in different colors including:

- Purple
- Blue
- Brown
- Black
- Red or pink (especially on lighter skin)

These color variations often occur due to inflammation or irritation of the affected area. The specific color may depend on your natural skin tone and how inflamed or irritated the nodule becomes. If you notice bright red coloring or blood, this could indicate that the nodule has been scratched open and become ulcerated. Any significant changes in appearance, especially if accompanied by pain or signs of infection (like warmth or pus), should be discussed with a healthcare provider.
