Erythema nodosum on the foot

• Skin lesion of primary infection
  • Papular rash
  • Erythema nodosum
  • Erythema multiforme (target lesions)
• Skin lesion of disseminated disease: papule, pustule, nodule, or plaque
  • May ulcerate
  • Most frequently found on the face
  • May form abscesses

The diagnosis depends on the stage of infection (primary versus disseminated). Diagnosis may include skin biopsy to find the fungus in a culture if disseminated disease is suspected.
