My sister is diabetic and has allot of big red/bruising spots on both of her legs and thighs. Doctors are testing her for every kind of cancer there is. But they do suspect erythema nodosum. Does anyone know anything about this stuff?

Christina I am doing some research on this as well. I have found that TB can be a cause, so you may want to have her checked for TB. My niece has the same problem and it has the doctors stunned since she is other wise healthy. She failed to tell them that she tested positive for Tb several years ago. It may help, in alot of unnecessary tests and medical costs. Good luck.
