Question: My wife is taking (KI) potassium iodide for the treatment off eyrthem nodosum but not yet certin that is problem need to know what noduls tender and red with 1/4inch lession on lower inside of left leg could possibly be and what else I could do to help? I founf ki online and we are four days into it with taking one dose 130mg pill she has had this problem now for almost a year went to ruhmetologist, ppo, and vein specialist, lead to erythema came from wound dr who helped treat lession with debreeding and doing biopsy on leg now what can I do to help my wife

Thank you however that was initial dr report then noduals opened up which makes me wonder since the other dr wound dr was the first to id it as EN but it started to have lessions could it possibly not be EN due to length of time and lessions. Mayber it could be erytheme induratum, i m not sure just trying to help her with the pain but the potassium iodide has stoped the swelling but there is a new lession breaking through dermis.
