Successful treatment of prurigo nodularis with cyclosporin A

Abstract

Prurigo nodularis (PN) is a chronic idiopathic dermatitis. Several treatment modalities have been tried in PN patients but have yielded very poor results. We present three patients with refractory PN who responded unequivocally well to cyclosporin A treatment. It is therefore suggested that cyclosporin A should be considered an option in treating severe PN

Key Words:

• Cyclosporin A
