Erythema nodosum is a rare disorder that affects approximately one thousand patients per year. Typically peaking between the ages of 25 and 40, erythema nodosum is a condition that involves the inflammation of the fatty layer of the skin.
It can result in sensitive, painful, red lumps or nodules that range in size from the diameter of a dime to a quarter.
The erythema nodosum nodules typically go away after a period of three to six weeks without treatment; however, the nodules may leave behind slight bruises or a permanent indentation in the fatty layer of the skin.
