Erythema induratum – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/831462208

Erythema induratum (nodular vasculitis) is a chronic, recurrent reactive disorder characterised by subcutaneous nodules located preferentially on the posterior aspects of the lower legs of adult women. The nodules commonly develop after exposure to cold and may break down to form irregular ulcers. It is a reactive process which may be provoked by a number of different mechanisms but is most commonly associated with active tuberculosis (erythema induratum of Bazin).
