Suggest Treatment For Erythema Nodosum
I have been diagnosed with erythema nodosum. Multiple blood tests and XRY was done to find out any trigger diseases. The only positive test came with Atypical P-ANCA TITER, however I do not have any symptoms of the diseases associated with this pattern. I am taking Prednison 5MG daily and the Rheumatologist just prescribed Methotrexate once week. But my Erythema is not getting better. What should I do else, where to go...

But it may be due to infections like streptococcal, tuberculosis, histoplasmosis

Do the following test to exclude the cause:
