A Fleshy Mystery: Prurigo Nodularis.

Prurigo nodularis is a chronic dermatologic condition typically presenting as firm, dome-shaped pruritic nodules of various sizes that are often symmetrically distributed on extensor surfaces of the extremities. The diagnosis is clinical and based on a history of chronic, severe pruritis in the setting of characteristic, excoriated lesions. Treatment is difficult and aimed at reducing skin irritation and pruritus. Quality of life is impacted due to the chronic, intractable, and relapsing nature of the disease. Here, we report a case of prurigo nodularis diagnosed in the outpatient clinic setting. This paper aims to report the patient's clinical history, presentation, and histopathologic findings, as well as present a literature review to determine the significance of this case and the approach to ongoing management.
