How Can I Get Rid Of Peeling Skin While Suffering From Erythema Nodosum?

I have been diagnosed with erythema nodosum. Recently, they returned. One of the lumps on my shin does not seem like the others. When I press on it there is pitting. Also, it began to peel as if it were sunburned. Is this typical?. None of the other nodosum have had these characteristics. Thanks.

Hi,

Skin peeling may be there,if the superficial layers of skin are disturbed. It is normal process. The upper layer may be peeled off in few days. There is no need to worry. Apply moisturiser cream containing aloe vera and vitamin E.

Hope this helps.
