Is It Hard To Treat Prurigo Nodularis?

I have recently been diagnosed with prurido nodularis. I have had

this condition for 4 or 5 years, but thought it was a type of

derm.aitiitis I have also had a high whit e count for several

years and my doctor has been watching it. SAys some people

have a high white count. Never over 16, ot 17,000. Could the

two be related? He tells me the PN is not serious and it is just

hard to treat. Do. you agree?
