Abstract
Erythema nodosum (EN) is the most frequently occurring form of acute panniculitis. It is characterized by painful red to livid raised nodules or bumps that typically occur symmetrically in the shin area. The cause of EN is often a reaction of the immune system to various triggers including infections, inflammatory diseases or medications. In approximately half of the cases no trigger can be identified. After treatment of the underlying pathology EN is typically self-limiting.
