Hi,
It may be prurigo nodularis. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. It may be due to mental upsets. Tension,worries and anxiety might exacerbate the disease. I would recommend you to take anxiolytic drugs for few months. Take antihistaminics like cetirizine 10 mg daily. Apply steroid cream on the lesions. Avoid soap bath. You may use dettol liquid for bath.
Hope this helps.
