In this episode, Dr. Sarina Elmariah and Dr. Brian Kim explore prurigo nodularis (PN), with a focus on severe itch, fibrotic skin lesions, and their impact on patients’ quality of life. They discuss PN epidemiology, common comorbidities, and the challenges of managing multimorbid patients, while breaking down the neuroimmune mechanisms, highlighting the role of type 2 cytokines in itch and lesion development.

Embark on this interactive triathlon challenge to uncover the interplay of type 2 inflammation, barrier dysfunction, and neuroimmune dysregulation in the disease pathology of CRSwNP.

In this video soundbite from the EAACI 2025 symposium, Dr. Zuzana Diamant explains pathophysiological mechanisms underlying asthma and CRSwNP, and how type 2 inflammatory cytokines drive airway remodelling in patients with severe asthma. Additionally, patients with co-existing asthma and CRSwNP have a higher type 2 inflammatory burden than patients with asthma alone.

Listen to the latest updates in type 2 inflammatory science and associated skin diseases, brought to you by leading dermatology experts in the field. ADVENT On Air podcasts feature scientific conversations that explore new research into the pathophysiology, clinical features, and disease burden for a range of dermatological diseases linked to type 2 inflammation, including atopic dermatitis (AD) and prurigo nodularis (PN). Hear new insights revealed through expert-led conversations below or in your preferred podcast app.

Dr. Ramien discusses evidence showing that advanced therapies can modify the mechanisms of atopic dermatitis, improving skin barrier function, normalizing the skin microbiome, and reducing chronic itch.

In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Dr Brian Kim discuss the burdensome itch in prurigo nodularis, the multifactorial etiology of the disease, and the multiple pathological factors that contribute to chronic itch and skin inflammation in PN.

This infographic highlights how uncontrolled moderate‑to‑severe atopic dermatitis (AD) can lead to Cumulative Life Course Impairment (CLCI) by contributing to ongoing physical, psychological, and social burdens such as itch and sleep loss, impaired bone growth and mental health challenges. It emphasizes the importance of early and effective disease control to help reduce long‑term impact on patients.

Dr. Chovatiya explains that PN is primarily a chronic itch disease with a complex pathophysiology involving neuronal changes, type 2 inflammation, and fibrotic skin processes, affecting patients' overall well-being.
