Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
Prurigo nodularis is an autoimmune disorder.
It is characterised by formation of itchy nodules on extremities and back.
It's good that you are using clobetasol.
I treat such cases with a combination of clobetasol and salicylic acid.
A strong antihistamine like doxepin capsule is also helpful.
Try this for a week and let me know the response.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
Thank you
