This study supports the NORD/GARD classification of prurigo nodularis as a rare disease with a prevalence of 3·27 patients per 10 000 population, which equates to 18 471 patients living with the disease in England in 2018. The relatively high prevalence of comorbidity observed for these patients may increase the complexity of management.
