Suffering From Prurigo Nodularis. Taken Allopathic Medication. Will It Cure Completely?
I have been suffering from prurigo nodularis from the last approximately 20 years or so. I have seen several allopathy doctors for that, but nothing has helped hence it has not completely resolved. I am just fade up with these skin diseases and it also effects me mentally. Please give me a suggestion or refer some medicine so that it can cure completely, and brush it out from my life.
Thanking,
