Hello,
I was diagnosed with P.A.N. in November 2016. One of the first symptoms I had were very painful raised nodules that appeared at different times. After a few days or weeks they flattened and turned into a more bruised color. Initially I thought I had Erythema Nodosum. I saw the Dermatologist's Physician Assistant who recommended a wedge biopsy(deeper dermis which involves surgery) versus punch biopsy (superficial) which confirmed my diagnosis of PAN. After that I began to get drop foot because of the Peripheral Nerve involvement. I'm still currently receiving Cytoxan infusion treatments (7). Have you found out anything else? Are the patches painful?
