Who's At Risk
Erythema nodosum can occur in patients of any age, sex, or race. The inflammation is most common in females, particularly in the age range 18–34 (teens and young adults). In addition, erythema nodosum tends to occur in families who are exposed to the same trigger. While their cause to a particular individual may be unknown, people who receive immunity-weakening drugs (eg, chemotherapy drugs), oral contraceptives, and antibiotics are more likely to develop them. Also, infections and cancers can predispose a person to developing erythema nodosum.
