Summary:Chronic nodular prurigo (CNP) is a chronic dermatological disease characterized by the presence of chronic pruritus and pruritic nodular lesions. The aim of this study was to reach consensus among a group of experts based on a non-systematic literature review and an algorithm for the clinical diagnosis of CNP. The resulting algorithm is structured in 3 blocks: 1) early identification of the patient with a possible diagnosis of CNP; 2) diagnosis and assessment of CNP; and 3) categorization of CNP (identification of the underlying causes or associated comorbidities).We believe that this clinical algorithm can facilitate the correct diagnosis of patients with CNP. Additionally, it raises awareness on the need for a multidisciplinary approach and specific treatment of CNP, steps of paramount importance to make better therapeutic decisions.
