What Is Erythema Multiforme?
2. Erythema Multiforme Minor
Minor cases of erythema multiforme are more common than the major form. Additionally, people with erythema multiforme minor usually experience mild signs and symptoms. Many people have no manifestations other than the appearance of a localized eruption of the skin that can last roughly 1-2 weeks. Also, in this variation, there is minimal to no mucosal involvement.
The symptoms of erythema multiforme minor are rarely serious. For some, the lesions may become itchy and uncomfortable or produce a burning sensation. It is also possible for people to develop a low-grade fever; however, this is a finding that is more common in erythema multiforme major.
