Primary care providers may run tests such as bloodwork to look for kidney, liver, and thyroid issues and check for infections. They can also provide referrals to additional specialists.

Dermatologist
Dermatologists specialize in diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the skin, hair, and nails. They will be the main specialist to diagnose and treat PN. They may perform a skin biopsy to confirm what’s causing your symptoms. Dermatologists can prescribe various treatment options to help stop the itch and give your skin a chance to heal.
