Erythema nodosum

Erythema nodosum is a skin condition characterized by tender, red bumps typically found on the front of the legs. It results from inflammation of fat layers beneath the skin, often triggered by infections, medications, or certain health conditions. The bumps usually appear suddenly, can be painful, and might shift location. While generally self-limiting and resolving within a few weeks, treatment focuses on addressing the underlying cause and alleviating symptoms, often with anti-inflammatory medications and rest. It’s important to consult a healthcare professional to determine the cause and appropriate management.
