Can prurigo nodularis cause sores inside the nose or pain that travels from jawline to ear?
Prurigo nodularis typically causes itchy nodules in areas you can easily scratch or pick at, such as arms, legs, back, chest, and scalp. While PN can appear anywhere on the body where scratching occurs, sores inside the nose and pain traveling from the jawline to the ear aren't commonly described symptoms of PN.
PN-related pain is usually nerve pain (neuropathic pain) that feels like tingling, stinging, burning, or stabbing sensations in areas where nodules are present. The pain occurs because inflammation damages nerves in the skin where the bumps form.
If you're experiencing sores inside your nose or pain traveling from your jawline to your ear, these symptoms may be related to something else. It's important to discuss these specific symptoms with your healthcare provider so they can properly evaluate what's causing them and recommend appropriate treatment.
