Great question — and yes, it's possible! Dog urine could act as a contact irritant or trigger for prurigo nodularis flares, similar to other environmental irritants.

Common triggers that can worsen itching include:

- Heat or humidity
- Sweat
- High stress levels
- Dry air
- Certain fabrics like polyester or wool
- Skin care products with irritating ingredients

Dog urine could fall into the category of an irritating substance that aggravates sensitive skin, much like other contact irritants.

If exposure to dog urine seems to worsen symptoms, avoiding direct skin contact and rinsing the affected area with lukewarm water promptly may help. Keeping skin moisturized with gentle, sensitive-skin products can also provide a protective barrier.

It's worth mentioning this to a dermatologist, as they can help identify personal triggers and recommend the best management strategies.
