Answer by  SallyJ (1010)

Vitamin D cannot entirely cure prurigo nodularis. Currently available medical treatments for the condition show only moderate success. Vitamin D-3 ointment is one of a number of topical treatments used for the management of prurigo nodularis, including menthol, capsicum and other substances. It reduces the pruritus (itching) associated with the condition.
