• #2 Erythema Nodosum – What You Need to Know

  https://www.drugs.com/cg/erythema-nodosum.html

  EN is a type of inflammatory disease. EN causes tender, red bumps to form under your skin. The bumps may be hot to the touch. EN develops when the fat layer under your skin becomes inflamed. You may also see bruising. The bumps are most common on your thighs, knees, shins, ankles, or feet. The tenderness usually lasts about 2 weeks. The red, lumpy areas usually go away on their own in 6 to 8 weeks. Treatment may depend on what is causing your EN. For example, if you have a strep infection, you may be given antibiotics. Your medicine may be changed if it is causing your symptoms. You may also need any of the following: NSAIDs help decrease swelling and pain or fever. This medicine is available with or without a doctor’s order. Prescription pain medicine may be given. Ask your healthcare provider how to take this medicine safely. Potassium iodide may help relieve your symptoms. Steroids may be needed to decrease inflammation. Rest as much as you can. Elevate the affected area above the level of your heart as often as you can. This will help decrease swelling and pain. An elastic bandage or support stockings may help decrease pain when you are up and walking. Apply a warm or cold compress on the affected area to decrease pain and swelling. You have the right to help plan your care. Learn about your health condition and how it may be treated. Discuss treatment options with your healthcare providers to decide what care you want to receive. Always consult your healthcare provider to ensure the information displayed on this page applies to your personal circumstances.

  Erythema nodosum is a skin condition of the fat that lies just below your skin (the subcutaneous layer). Its often a reaction to an infection or medicine. But it may occur for no known reason. It causes tender, red bumps to form, usually on the shins that may become purplish in color within a few days. The bumps may also appear on other parts of the body, such as the ankles, thighs, arms, or face. […] Erythema nodosum is usually not a serious condition. Symptoms often go away within 6 weeks. But they may appear again. As the bumps fade, they may look like bruises. […] Treatment will depend on your symptoms, age, and general health. It will also depend on how bad the condition is. […] You may not need treatment if you have a mild case of erythema nodosum. It often goes away on its own. If your provider recommends treatment, it may include:

  Erythema nodosum is the most common form of panniculitis and is characterized by tender erythematous nodules mainly in the lower limbs on the pretibial area. […] Erythema nodosum can be the first sign of a systemic disease that is triggered by a large group of processes, such as infections, inflammatory diseases, neoplasia, and/or drugs. […] We propose a diagnostic algorithm to optimize the initial work-up, hence initiating prompt and accurate management of the underlying disease. […] Several treatment options for the erythema nodosum lesions have been previously reported; nevertheless, these options treat the symptoms, but not the triggering cause. […] Making an accurate diagnosis will allow the physician to treat the underlying cause and determine an optimal therapeutic strategy.

• #6 Erythema Nodosum – Rheumatology – Diseases – McMaster Textbook of Internal Medicine

  https://empendium.com/mcmtextbook/chapter/B31.II.16.25.

  Erythema nodosum refers to inflammatory nodular lesions in the subcutaneous tissue characterized histologically by septal inflammation. Immune complexes are thought to play a role in the pathogenesis. […] Treatment of the underlying condition. […] Symptomatic treatment: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may be used if local or systemic symptoms are judged to require treatment; if these are ineffective, short-term glucocorticoids may be used cautiously (note: they may be harmful, eg, in patients with tuberculosis).

• #7 Erythema Nodosum | Consultant360

  https://www.consultant360.com/articles/erythema-nodosum

  Erythema nodosum (EN) was diagnosed. This disorder is the most common inflammation of subcutaneous fat. The rash may be preceded by a 1- to 3-week prodrome of weight loss, malaise, low-grade fever, cough, and arthralgia with or without arthritis. The eruption usually presents as symmetrical, tender, erythematous, warm nodules with raised plaques. The history helps guide the evaluation, which may include CBC, sedimentation rate, antistreptolysin O titer, urinalysis, throat culture, intradermal tuberculin test, and chest radiography to exclude an underlying cause. EN is associated with infections (-hemolytic streptococcal infection, Yersinia infection, tuberculosis, and leprosy), drugs (antibiotics and hormonal contraceptives), chronic inflammatory diseases (sarcoidosis, Behet syndrome, and inflammatory bowel disease), and malignancy (lymphoma and leukemia). The nodules of EN are self-limited and heal without scarring. The goal of treatment is to manage any underlying condition. Bed rest, elevation, compressive bandages, NSAIDs and corticosteroids, and avoidance of contact irritation can relieve symptoms.

  https://www.actasdermo.org/es-causes-erythema-nodosum-in-patients-articulo-S1578219020302596

  We believe that a reasonable approach to establishing the cause of EN in hospitalized patients would be to perform a targeted history and physical examination focusing on the main causes of EN, including drugs; a complete blood count including a routine biochemical workup, ESR, and CRP; an ASO test; simple chest radiography; and a Mantoux test. The need for serology testing to rule out infectious or autoimmune disease or the performance of other tests should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis according to symptoms.

• #9 Erythema Nodosum in Children: A Narrative Review and a Practical Approach

  https://www.mdpi.com/2227-9067/9/4/511

  Erythema nodosum (EN) is the most frequent form of panniculitis in children. The diagnosis of EN is clinical, based on the acute appearance of painful and red nodules localized to lower limbs, bilaterally distributed. If EN is diagnosed, basic work-up should include inflammatory markers, serum aminotransferases, lactate dehydrogenase, creatinine, protein electrophoresis, immunoglobulins, testing for streptococcal infection, and a tuberculin skin test. The prognosis of EN is excellent, with spontaneous resolution in most patients within 2–6 weeks. Treatment, if needed, is addressed to the underlying condition. EN diagnosis is clinical, and a high index of suspicion is needed to perform investigations for the underlying disorders. […] Treatment of EN should be aimed at the underlying etiology, if known. Although medications are less often implicated in pediatric cases of EN, careful review of all medications is essential. Treatment should be focused on symptomatic support and removal of the causative agent if present. Rest, elevation, and compression may help in symptoms’ relief. Drugs can be given to reduce symptom and hasten resolution. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSADs), such as naproxen, ibuprofen or, more rarely, indomethacin, have also been shown to be of benefit; however, caution is requested in patients with IBD as they may trigger a flare-up or worsen an ongoing acute disease episode.

• #10 Erythema Nodosum Treatment & Management: Medical Care, Activity, Prevention

  https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1081633-treatment

  In most patients, erythema nodosum (EN) is a self-limited disease that requires only symptomatic relief in the form of analgesics, cool wet compresses, elevation, and bed rest. If an underlying disease or drug is identified as the cause of EN, it should be eliminated. […] Given that EN often regresses spontaneously, relief of symptoms through administration of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs; eg, acetylsalicylic acid, ibuprofen, naproxen, and indomethacin) may be the only treatment necessary. Corticosteroids are effective but are seldom necessary in self-limited disease. […] Compression stockings may be beneficial for reducing swelling and allowing patients to maintain their normal activity level. […] Restriction of physical activities while EN is active may prevent exacerbations of the disease. […] Consultations with a dermatologist, an internist, or both may be necessary for evaluation of the underlying cause of EN. […] The course of EN is benign and self-limited. Bed rest and restriction of physical activities are encouraged during the active phase.

  Erythema nodosum, a painful disorder of the subcutaneous fat, is the most common type of panniculitis. […] Erythema nodosum tends to be self-limited. Any underlying disorders should be treated and supportive care provided. Pain can be managed with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. […] The most important step in the management of erythema nodosum is treatment of the underlying disorder. […] In patients with erythema nodosum, pain can be managed with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. […] Systemic steroids at a dosage of 1 mg per kg daily may be used until resolution of erythema nodosum if underlying infection, risk of bacterial dissemination or sepsis, and malignancy have been excluded by a thorough evaluation. […] Although erythema nodosum can be exquisitely tender, it tends to be self-limited. The most common approach is treatment of any underlying disorders and supportive therapy, including bed rest and avoidance of contact irritation of affected areas. Pain can be managed conservatively with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

  Erythema nodosum is a type of inflammation in the layer of fat right underneath your skin. This results in tender or painful lumps that may feel warm. These lumps usually appear on your shins, but they may also appear on your forearms, thighs, or across your chest, stomach, and back. […] Erythema nodosum itself isn’t serious and it usually goes away on its own in 1-6 weeks. […] The treatment usually depends on what’s causing it. For instance, if it’s caused by an erythema nodosum-associated condition or infection, your doctor will treat that. If it’s caused by a medication, your doctor will likely have you stop taking that medicine or switch you to a different one. But don’t stop taking any medicine unless your doctor tells you to do so. […] You can help manage your symptoms with some at-home therapies, such as: Use compression stockings or bandages to help with the swelling and pain. Rest and avoid hard activities. Lift the affected part of your body. For instance, put your legs on a pillow while you’re lying down. Use NSAIDs to help with the swelling and pain.

  Erythema nodosum is treated in much the same way during pregnancy as it is in women who arent pregnant. However, some of the medicines like NSAIDs used to treat this condition cant be used during pregnancy. Bed rest and compression stockings can help manage pain and other symptoms. […] If a bacterial infection caused this condition, your doctor will prescribe antibiotics to treat it. You can treat erythema nodosum thats caused by a drug reaction by stopping the medicine. […] These medicines can help you manage pain and other symptoms until the lumps heal: nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), or naproxen (Aleve) (Dont use these if you have Crohns disease because they could trigger a flare.) […] Also, rest with your legs elevated and wear compression stockings while the bumps heal. And avoid irritating the bumps by wearing itchy or tight clothing.

  Erythema nodosum is characterised by painful, erythematous, and sometimes bruised-looking, nodules on the anterior surface of the legs. It is a type of panniculitis, ie an inflammatory disorder of the subcutaneous adipose tissue, affecting 1-5 in 100 000 population per year. […] Most cases of erythema nodosum regress spontaneously in 34 weeks, but relapses are common. For many patients treatment is conservative and may include: Limiting physical exercise and bed rest, especially in cases of marked leg swelling. NSAID such as naproxen 500 mg daily are helpful for pain and for hastening resolution. […] For more prolonged / troublesome cases, a number of treatments can be used: Corticosteroids – can be used intralesionally or short courses given systemically. However corticosteroids must not be used if there is suspicion of TB. Systemic tetracyclines (doxycycline 100 mg OD or lymeycline 408mg OD), which have an anti-inflammatory effect.

  https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4829t6rn

  Erythema nodosum is the most frequent clinico-pathological variant of the panniculitides. […] Treatment of erythema nodosum should be directed to the underlying associated condition, if identified. Usually, nodules of erythema nodosum regress spontaneously within a few weeks, and bed rest is often sufficient treatment. Aspirin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as oxyphenbutazone, in a dosage of 400 mg per day, indomethacin, in a dosage of 100 to 150 mg per day, or naproxen, in a dosage of 500 mg per day, may be helpful to enhance analgesia and resolution. […] Systemic corticosteroids are rarely indicated in erythema nodosum and before these drugs are administered an underlying infection should be ruled out. When administered, prednisone in a dosage of 40 mg per day has been followed by resolution of the nodules in few days. Intralesional injection of triancinolone acetonide, in a dosage of 5 mg/ml, into the center of the nodules may cause them to resolve.
