If a lesion appears on your eyelid, I would immediately contact my dermatologist for advice on treatment. I also think that it may be a good idea to discuss this possibility with the dermatologist. An eye physician may be helpful as well.

I currently have a spot directly above my left eyebrow. I am very concerned. I had one there previously and my eye swelled shut but putting ice on it brought it back down. If I were to get a spot directly on my eyelid I would be afraid of eye infection

Hi Kendra! I have not read anything about PN affecting the eye. It sounds like you need to have a discussion with your your physician regarding all of your concerns.

Can prurigo nodularis affect the eyes and vision?

Prurigo nodularis (PN) primarily affects the skin, causing intensely itchy nodules and bumps. The available information doesn't specifically highlight the eyes or vision as a direct symptom of PN.

It's always best to raise any concerns about eye or vision changes with your healthcare provider or dermatologist, as they can properly evaluate whether it's connected to your PN or something else that needs attention.
