I am never given a solution. It seems I have to rack my brain for any solution.

I have discovered that since PN is relatively unknown, that there medical professionals who are not aware of this condition. I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that it is not recognized as a mainstream condition. This lack of consciousness creates frustration, bursts of anger, and misguided treatment. Patients then need to find a knowledgeable dermatologist to be heard. Hopefully, PN will enter the medical and general public's arena, and very soon.

Osztom a véleményed. Itt Magyarországon biztos nem ismerik, vagy inkább nincs rá keret. És csak olvasom, mi mindent nem kaptok kezelésként. Eddig amit elértem az én tapasztalatom alapján csináltam. Kísérlet mindig. 🤔🤔🤔

It's completely understandable to feel frustrated when seeking solutions for prurigo nodularis. Unfortunately, some healthcare providers may not fully understand or validate your experience, which can make finding effective treatment even more challenging.

Remember that your symptoms are real and valid - this isn't "all in your head." PN is a legitimate skin condition that requires proper medical attention and care. When trying treatments, patience is key. Most treatments need time to show results - for example, some medications may take 2-4 months to reach maximum effectiveness. Work with your doctor to explore different treatment options, including:

• New medications like dupilumab
• JAK inhibitors (newer treatment options being tested)
• Mental health support to help manage stress, which can trigger symptoms
• Combinations of different treatments

Stay hopeful - if one treatment doesn't work, there may be another that will provide relief.
