Re: Scabs

[Guest guest]

Hi,

We didn't get a completed questionnaire from you, so we don't have

much to work with here. I don't know if you have any other

disorders/diseases or what meds you are on etc.

If you mean scabs as in ulcerating and crusting over, that is NOT the

typical EN scenerio.

http://dermatology.cdlib.org/DOJvol8num1/reviews/enodosum/requena.html

<<Ulceration is never seen and the nodules heal without atrophy or

scarring.>>

However, we have had a few members describe EN with ulcerations.

What concerns me is that pyoderma gangrenosum [PG] does ulcerate and

so does Erythema Induratum (Nodular Vasculitis)

http://www.emedicine.com/DERM/topic135.htm

however being Male you don't fit the typical mold for EI.

If you have any bowel problems like IBD (ulcerative colitis) Crohn's

Disease or evern IBS, I hope you check further with a Gastro.

It's still early here in CA., and these are just my first impressions.

I'm sure the Group will have other ideas and suggestions.

Keep in Touch, and please complete the questionnarie:
