EN Article giving clues as to why lumps seem to travel

[Guest guest]

Dear Group,Here is an EN articlehttp://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/bhcv2/bhcarticles.nsf/pages/Erythema_nodosum?OpenDocument that gives a clue as to why the lumps behave as they do when a new lump forms right next to the one that receeds :<<Pockets of immune cells

The skin consists of three main layers: the epidermis, the dermis and

the subcutaneous layer. The subcutaneous layer is the deepest, and

provides support and structure for the overlying dermis and epidermis.

Erythema nodosum is an immunological response. The characteristic lumps

are collections of immune cells clustered in pockets within the

subcutaneous layer. In some cases, the dermis (middle layer of the

skin) may also be affected.>>Maybe the clusters of immune cells become so numerous that some cells break away and tunnel through the fat layer to form new nodes. I have experienced nodes that seem to "travel". Love,idio. EN '68
