Prurigo nodularis is a chronic skin disease that typically manifests as multiple, firm, flesh-colored to pink papules, plaques, and nodules, usually on the extensor surfaces of the limbs. The lesions are very itchy and can occur at any age. It's often associated with another condition, such as atopic dermatitis or any skin condition associated with chronic itching. Diagnosis is primarily clinical. However, in many cases, chronic lichen simplex and hypertrophic lichen planus may be clinically indistinguishable.
