Prurigo is a reactive skin condition distinguished by numerous, isolated itchy papules. The word "prurigo" comes from the Latin word pruire, which meaning itching. Ferdinand von Hebra coined the term "prurigo" in Vienna in 1850 to describe papules and nodules that had severe pruritus. Some authors categorize prurigo based on its nature (acute, subacute, or chronic), clinical manifestation, underlying cause, or related illness.

== Signs and symptoms == Prurigo is a reactive cutaneous disorder characterized by prurigo papules or nodules. Isolated papules that itch intensely are called prurigo papules. Scratching can cause erosions to form at the top, although unlike eczematous papules, these typically don't show any noticeable phenotypic alterations. Skin lesions with nodules may appear during development. There are two types of lesions that result from scratching: initial lesions and secondary lesions. Under certain conditions, some prurigo can form aggregates or plaques.
