Somewhat different situation with noded erythene. This disease (or symptom) is fairly easy to recognize on the basis of the description - red painful nodes under the skin, which usually pass within 3-10 days. Recognize a nodal erythey is easy, the problem is in the other - it is necessary to understand whether there has a problem any cause or originally. As a rule, nodal erythema as an independent disease does not represent a serious threat. But it is extremely important to exclude other diseases that may be dangerous.
Under noded erythema, inflammation of the skin and, as a result of this pupination, the formation of pretty large nodes of red. Very often noded erythema turns out to be one of the symptoms of any disease. In the event that the reason for noded erythema is non-shaped, then it is considered as an independent disease.
