5. Describe your erythema nodosum/PG symptoms or, if you do not have

EN or PG, please explain why you wish to join this group.

I have been breaking out with what my doctor says is Erythema

Multiforme for almost the past 3 years. My doctor took blood tests as

well as 2 skin biopsies and tried a variety of medications which

didn't help. The doctor even told me at one point I was a mystery and

they had no idea what it was or what was causing it as different

medications they had me on didn't work. They just this past Friday

said that they are 99.9% certain that I have erythema multiforme. I

have very little information on the causes and cures or if there is a

cure to this disease and would like all the information on it and the

causes and cures I can get.

6. List any other health conditions.

I have had two cancers and taken chemotherapy and radiation

treatments both times. My first cancer was hodgekins lymphoma. I have

acid reflux disease as well.

7. State what medications or treatments you take for EN, and their

effectiveness:

I just started taking acyclovir so I dont yet know the effectiveness.

the doctor also put me on vanos cream for the itching and it seems to

be helping so far.
