My PN is definitely craters, but most of them are LARGE and not small craters.

I only get liquid filled blisters once in awhile. The nodules to me look more like little craters instead of regular sores.

I'have PN and sometimes the nodules start hurting so bad I scratch until I get them off and then they obviously leak.
I know not to do that but it feels like this stabbing pain until I get them off.
Not all just some in certain areas.

Prurigo nodularis (PN) nodules typically don't present as fluid-filled blisters. True PN nodules are firm, hard bumps that can range from 0.2 inches to 1.2 inches in size. They may become open wounds when scratched, but they don't naturally contain fluid.

If you see white or yellow fluid, this could indicate a bacterial infection in the nodules, which can happen when they're scratched open. These infected areas may feel warm and tender to the touch. It's important to have any new or changing skin symptoms evaluated by a dermatologist, especially if they're seasonal or contain fluid. They can properly diagnose your condition through examination and possibly a skin biopsy to ensure you receive the most appropriate treatment.

Mine come in summer and sweating outside is the trigger. I’ve had two summers, this was the worst. Mine have clear fluid in them and are painful.
