"No erythema or nodules noted" is a phrase often used in medical reports to describe the condition of a patient's skin. Erythema refers to redness of the skin that can be caused by injury or inflammation. Nodules, on the other hand, are small lumps that can form under the skin due to various reasons. So, if a report says "no erythema or nodules noted", it means that the patient's skin does not have any unusual redness or lumps.
