EB31 Erythema nodosum

International Classification of Diseases for Mortality and Morbidity Statistics, 11th Revision, v2024-01

An erythematous eruption commonly associated with drug reactions or infection and characterised by inflammatory nodules that are usually tender, multiple, and bilateral. These nodules are located predominantly on the shins with less common occurrence on the thighs and forearms. They undergo characteristic colour changes ending in temporary bruise-like areas. This condition usually subsides in 3-6 weeks without scarring or atrophy.
