@sarahshimek Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect, a place to give and get support.
35 years is a long time to have had the diagnosis of erathema nodosum.
You'll notice that I moved your question to an existing discussion. I did this so you could connect with members that have gone through something similar. You may wish to scroll through the past comments in search of information and connection.
May I ask where you saw the that many people have both conditions?
Hello @sarahshimek, Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Thanks for sharing your experience and symptoms with Erythema Nodosum. You bring up an interesting question about the possibility of gluten being associated with the knot on your forehead. Here's some information I found that may explain it.
Skin and coeliac disease, a lot to think about: a case series: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5786986/
Excerpt - "Multiple erythematous violaceous nodules on the lower leg. ... boy presented a 1-year history of an intensely pruritic skin rash located on the trunk, members and face. ... Erythema nodosum in association with celiac disease."
Have you tried going gluten free for an extended time period as a test?
