A 55-year-old black woman with an eight-year history of prurigo nodularis was treated successfully with blistering cryotherapy. Cryotherapy resulted in smooth macule formation and afforded extended relief of pruritus. Several standard modalities of treatment had been used previously and had resulted in only partial relief of symptoms and minimal reduction of nodule size. This case demonstrates that cryotherapy can be a useful therapeutic alternative for prurigo nodularis.
一名有八年结节性痒疹病史的55岁黑人女性通过水疱冷冻疗法成功治愈。冷冻疗法使皮肤形成光滑的斑疹，并使瘙痒得到长期缓解。此前曾使用过几种标准治疗方法，但仅使症状部分缓解，结节大小仅有轻微缩小。该病例表明，冷冻疗法对于结节性痒疹可能是一种有效的治疗选择。
