Hemorragy is a common event in Erythema Nodosum, as the lipomembranous fat necrosis. So my provisional spot is EN.

My first impression was lipodermatosclerosis. The hemosiderin in fig 3 seems too superficial for EN.

Agree. I would like to see more lobular inflammation/adipocytic necrosis, but I think this is the best diagnosis.

Erythema nodosum is usually tender or painful, so may be I'm wrong...

Yes I agree with prominent haemosiderin deposition, minimal inflammatory changes, focal lipomembranous fat necrosis in keeping with venous insufficiency and lipodermatosclerosis. I suspect increased basal melanin pigmentation may also be contributing to the clinical appearances.
