Yes, they will do a biopsy to determine if it is indeed PN. I wish you the best and I hope it's negative and can be treated and it goes away permanently.

Hi Janice! Since so many skin issues can look similar to each other, I would suggest if you haven't already done so, to see a dermatologist for a definitive diagnosis and treatment plan.

Prurigo nodularis (PN) can look quite different from person to person, so there's no single "one size fits all" appearance. Here are some common ways PN nodules can look:

- Raised, firm bumps that may feel like a dome on the skin
- Colors ranging from skin-tone to pink, red, purple, brown, or black
- Sizes from tiny dots Show Full Answer

Prurigo nodularis (PN) can look quite different from person to person, so there's no single "one size fits all" appearance. Here are some common ways PN nodules can look:

- Raised, firm bumps that may feel like a dome on the skin
- Colors ranging from skin-tone to pink, red, purple, brown, or black
- Sizes from tiny dots to large quarter-sized bumps
- A few nodules or hundreds spread across the body
- Most commonly appearing on arms, legs, back, abdomen, and scalp

PN nodules are generally solid and firm, not fluid-filled. The clear, blister-like bumps on your back are worth paying attention to. PN doesn't typically cause clear blisters, so it's really important to have a dermatologist take a look at those as soon as possible to figure out what's going on.

Don't try to pop or scratch them, as that could lead to infection or scarring. When in doubt, get it checked out! 🩺
