nodular prurigo
prurigo nodularis a chronic, intensely pruritic form of neurodermatitis, usually in women, on the limbs, especially the anterior thighs and legs. Characteristics include single or multiple, firm nodules that are red, brown, or pink and later become verrucous or fissured; scratching or rubbing of the nodules often makes the condition worse.
