Sores or nodules on the feet can absolutely be part of prurigo nodularis, even though they're more commonly noticed on the arms, legs, back, and belly. PN can show up anywhere on the body, especially in spots that are easier to scratch or pick at.

Heat can sometimes make itching and irritation worse, which may lead to more scratching and new or worsened sores. It's worth keeping an eye on a few things:

- Whether the sores look red, inflamed, or are leaking fluid (which could signal infection)
- If they feel warm or tender to the touch
- Any changes in size, color, or number of nodules

Since you're having trouble seeing them clearly, it would be a really good idea to see your dermatologist soon. They can take a proper look and help figure out what's going on β€” especially to rule out any infection, which can happen when nodules get scratched open.

Don't wait too long on this one. Feet can be tricky to manage if sores get worse, and your doctor is the best person to give you peace of mind and a clear plan. πŸ’™

Georgia, when the beast was at full throttle before I finally began to fully battle it, I had them on the bottoms of both feet. There is a lot to hate about PN.

Thanks, Jan. Miserable, isn't it! I have looked for a holistic doctor with no luck. They can be great because they think outside the box. Keep it up!

Yes. About 20 years ago I got a sore that hurt and itched so bad I scratched almost to the bone. Of course no Dr.had an explanation. I went to many with no help. Someone sent me to a holistic Dr and he gave me black tar and it finally cleared it up. I've probably had this for years and just didn't realize it!!
