Suggest Treatment For Nodular Prurigo In An Elderly Person

I need information on Nodular purigo. My wife has it and no one seems to know what to do with it and it is traumatizing her. She was told there is no cure. She is 71 years old is this something that will speed her demise or will she be uncomfortable the rest of her life?

Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to nodular prurigo. I suggest using antihistamines daily such as Benadryl. I also suggest to use Calmine lotion for local application.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thank you.
