RESUMEN
El prúrigo nodular de Hyde es una dermatosis de curso crónico que cursa con elementos papulosos y nodulares muy pruriginosos. En su tratamiento se han empleado numerosos fármacos tópicos, intralesionales, sistémicos, crioterapia y fototerapia, habitualmente de forma combinada. A pesar de las numerosas opciones, muchos tratamientos resultan ineficaces y no existen protocolos estandarizados. La terapia ultravioleta B (UVB) de banda estrecha constituye una alternativa bien tolerada y moderadamente eficaz en esta patología
ABSTRACT
Prurigo nodularis is an uncommon chronic skin condition characterized by multiple intensely itchy papules and nodules. Both the pruritus and the skin lesions are difficult to treat and are often refractory to many treatments. Local, intralesional and sistemic drugs, criosurgery and phototherapy have been employed, even in combination. Therapy of nodular prurigo with narrow band UVB phototherapy is a safe and well-tolerated treatment that could be useful in these patients
