Idiopathic Erethyma Nodosum

[Guest guest]

Hi, everyone!

I think I posted when I was originally diagnosed, but I'd be grateful

for your input now that it's been a while.

I have severe multiple allergies and controlled asthma. I was exposed

to toxic and allergenic moulds early last year, and the EN on my

lower legs began then, along with respiratory and other symptoms, such

as severe fatigue. They also found reactive lymph nodes.

It's been over a year, and I'm no longer exposed to the mould. I still

have many allergies, as these existed before the mould exposure.

I now develop one or two erythema nodosum nodules on my lower legs at

a time. Much better than last year, but still there.

Since I'm no longer exposed to what might have been the trigger,

shouldn't the nodules be gone by now.

Or does this sound like an idiopathic case in which the timing with

the mould was a coincidence? Can EN be caused by severe allergies?

My doctors have no idea. They're as in the dark as anyone. They tell

me that they'll probably disappear in time, and we'll never know why

they appeared.

Thanks!

Best,
