Prurigo nodularis is a multifactorial, chronic inflammatory skin disease, characterised by extremely pruritic symmetrically distributed keratotic papules, nodules or plaques. It has a tremendous impact on patients’ quality of life, due to itch, poor sleep, and the visibility of skin lesions. It is associated with a significant psychological burden with increased rates of depression and anxiety. This is a challenging disease to treat, and the majority of current conventional treatments are used off-licence, often with unsatisfactory results.
This online module is designed to test your clinical knowledge and management of prurigo nodularis by presenting users with 10 clinical cases accompanied by multiple-choice assessment questions. Once you complete this module — and achieve the minimum pass rate of 60% — you'll be awarded with a 1 hour CPD Certificate, which you can print or upload to your CPD Portfolio.
By successfully completing this module and studying the further reading provided, you will have an improved understanding of the following:
The epidemiology of prurigo nodularis
The pathogenesis of prurigo nodularis
Common differential diagnoses of prurigo nodularis
Common clinical presentations and associations and co-morbidities of prurigo nodularis
