description | Erythema nodosum (EN) is a skin lesion that presents due to an inflammation of the subcutaneous fat, which is manifested clinically as a sudden onset of tender erythematous lesions. These lesions are typically localized to the pretibial surface. The cause of EN is mainly idiopathic, other causes are drugs, infections, autoimmune diseases, and inflammatory bowel disease. As vaccines are rarely known to cause EN, we are reporting a case of a 19-year-old female with a delayed recurrent reaction following the second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. |
