I’ve been on Dupixent for 6 months now some have healed but, right now my back is covered. Without the Dupixent I know it would be worse. Sometimes it can take up to 2 years to really see a difference.

I just started getting g a couple in that area around the bellybutton but only since getting phototherapy! I even put a towel around me covering
he abdomen as my arms are the worst part and now my back is worse. I'm told by receptionist at the derm office that it can get worse before better but it's been almost two months so I don't get it..very discouraging

Have them acoss my stomach, some are healed after dealing with them for months, their on my upper arms, and about three on my legs and, all over my back which is hard to scratch and on the side of my left breasts. But since I’m on Dupixent the itching isn’t as bad except for my back where I can’t reach.

Is it common to get prurigo nodularis around the belly button?

Yes, it's common to develop PN nodules around the belly button area. The abdomen, including the area around the belly button, is one of the typical locations where PN bumps appear.

PN nodules tend to develop in areas that are easy to reach and scratch. Common locations include:
* Arms and legs
* Abdomen (belly area)
* Lower back
* Chest
* Buttocks

The nodules are less likely to appear in hard-to-reach spots like the middle of your back. Since the belly button area is easily accessible for scratching, it's a frequent site for PN lesions to develop as part of the itch-scratch cycle.
