The standard treatment of prurigo nodularis (PN) includes antihistamines, ultraviolet light, and topical and systemic corticosteroids; unfortunately, PN is notoriously resistant to the conventional therapy. Herewith is described one case of PN, which was initialized with herose as the first‐line therapy resulting in complete clinical clearance. Results of follow‐up examinations from 2005 to 2009 showed no evidence of recurrence. Findings indicate that herose monotherapy is a potentially promising therapeutic options for PN.
