Erythema induratum is commonly associated with M.tuberculosis infection. Hope the diagnosis was confirmed by skin biopsy and appropriate tests, and you have taken the required treatment for sufficient duration. If inspite of taking the treatment with compliance, the disease is recurring, then please consider seeking a second opinion regarding diagnosis and treatment.
