title: Treatment of prurigo nodularis: use of cryosurgery and intralesional steroids plus lidocaine.
abstract: Two patients with prurigo nodularis resistant to most modalities of therapy were treated successfully with the combined use of cryosurgery and intralesional steroids plus lidocaine. This appears to be a successful treatment regimen for a dermatosis that is often difficult to control.
