Aggregated survey data from 39 dermatologists describes the sociodemographic and clinical profiles of real-world patients with chronic prurigo nodularis in Spain. The data includes patient age distribution, gender prevalence, comorbidities, and treatment usage and effectiveness ratings. The dataset was authored by Ignasi Figueras-Nart and last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Investigate comorbidity associations based on reported prevalence of atopic dermatitis, hypertension, anxiety, and depression.
• Identify unmet clinical needs based on reported treatment goals like rapid itch reduction.

Strengths
