If you go on the internet, Purigo nodularis, it suggests being tested for fungus. A cousin got yeast in her blood stream.Everything should be tested!

I think you might be onto something there as I have very often suffered with athletes foot in fact my feet are often very itchy especially the soles I try to control it with fungal cream and spray

That's an interesting observation! It's great that you're paying close attention to what helps your skin. While antifungal treatments aren't a standard part of PN care, it's worth mentioning to your dermatologist — especially since PN nodules can sometimes become infected, and tracking what helps is really valuable.

A MyPrurigoTeam member shared a similar experience of trying different treatments before finding what worked, noting that it took multiple doctors and approaches to get relief.
Here are some things worth tracking and sharing with your doctor:
- Which sores or nodules seem to be responding
- How long you've been using the antifungal salve
- Whether the improvement is in itching, size, or appearance
- Any other changes in your routine around the same time
It's always a good idea to loop in your dermatologist before continuing or expanding use of any new treatment, even over-the-counter ones. They may want to do a skin biopsy or other tests to better understand what's going on with that particular sore.
