Hi Milind,
Prurigo simplex is characterised by raised dome shaped itchy bumps.
The treatment prescribed by your doctor is good enough to treat prurigo simplex or any other variant of endogenous eczema.
To prevent further episodes, you must keep your skin well hydrated by using urea or lactic acid based moisturiser. Use a hydrating soap while bathing. If itching starts at any point of time, take oral antihistamines. To prevent eczema flare ups it is essential to break itch scratch cycle. Also avoid wearing synthetic clothes or woollen clothes directly in touch with your skin.
Take care
