Hi,Dear ,thanks for the query to HCM. I studied your query in-depth.In my opinion -cause needs to be fixed and treated accordingly.?sarcoidosis?drug reaction- to sulpha ? EN-due to infection ?Mostly self-reducing in 6-8 wks with skin indentations due to fatty necrosis.Chronic EN-is treated with Steroids and Colchicine-which acts by reducing inflammtory skin damage.-Consult your ER doctor who would take care of it.EN is a condition mostly auto-immune reaction with panniculitis with tender red fatty noules and is not related to food allergies at all.I would advise bland -non-spicy diet,with bananas if it suits you and with vit-c rich fruits which would take care of the collagen inflammation.Hope This would resolve your query.Well come again for any more query.
