While Vitamin D3 cream is sometimes used in dermatology treatments, there isn't enough evidence in the provided search results to definitively say whether it helps specifically with prurigo nodularis scars. The most important thing is to work with a healthcare provider to find the right treatment approach for your specific situation.

What we do know is that ongoing scratching in prurigo nodularis can lead to skin thickening and scarring. This process, called lichenification, happens when the skin produces excess keratin in response to constant irritation. For treating prurigo nodularis, there are several FDA-approved options available, including:
• Dupilumab (Dupixent)
• Nemolizumab-ilto (Nemluvio)
• Ruxolitinib cream (currently in clinical trials)

Always consult with your doctor or dermatologist before starting any new treatment, including over-the-counter options like Vitamin D3 cream.
