Erythema Nodosum is a type of skin inflammation located in the fatty layer of the skin resulting in painful tender lumps/nodules around the knee/leg area. Treatment is initially managed by identifying and treating any underlying condition, along with the skin lesions. Then include anti-inflammatory drugs and Cortisone are prescribed. Colchicine is sometimes used to reduce inflammation.
Treatment must be customized for the particular patient and conditions present. I would suggest working with your doctor on the best course of action.
