Erythema nodosum

Erythema nodosum means painful red swellings, usually occurring on the front of the leg. While it may arise in conjunction with other disorders such as sarcoidosis or following a throat infection by the bacterium streptococcus, many cases arise out of the blue and resolve spontaneously over a period of time.
