Patient's question:
I noticed some redness and swelling on my chest while taking a bath yesterday and suspected it might be an allergy. But today, when I went to bed, I noticed it again, so I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. To my surprise, the result was subacute nodular migratory panniculitis. Could you please tell me what the cause of this disease is?Doctor's answer:
The etiology of subacute nodular migratory panniculitis is not yet particularly clear, and no definitive cause has been confirmed. However, it is very likely that poor individual metabolic breakdown may trigger this type of skin inflammation and inflammation. There may be some correlation with bacterial and viral infections. Generally, acute upper respiratory infections, tonsillitis, or acute laryngitis may recur about half a month before the recurrence of skin lesions, so it is highly likely to be associated with bacterial and viral transmission.
