I suffer from prurigo and it was steadily getting worse but i found a "cure" to control it. Prurigo is nothing but dry skin so moisture soothes it very much so....I had sores EVERYWHERE and since I've done my treatment every night, I only have scars (using bleaching cremes, though!) and my prurigo's are gone. My mother bought me a sauna suit (Wal-Mart) and my treatment is that after I get out of the tub every night I rub Aquaphor (Wal-Mart) or my prescribed ointment, Desoximetasone, on my skin and go to sleep with my sauna suit on. It is HORRIBLE but mine are going away...
Of course this does not cure the new outbreaks, but it prevents them and they dont get to be so "messy".
