Panniculitis is inflammation of the subcutaneous fat. Fat is divided into lobules by connective tissue septae. These septae contain the blood supply supplying the lobule. A feeder arteriole supplies the center of the lobule while venules drain the septae. Disorders which disrupt the arterial supply lead to a lobular panniculitis while venous disorders lead to a septal panniculitis.
Treatment:
Alfa 1 – anti-trypsin deficiency
A1AT concentrate
Case report on the benefit of Dapsone and Colchicine
Liver transplant could be considered in severe cases
Nodular vasculitis may be treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatories, potassium iodide, anti-malarials, Colchicine.

I did a little research on Panniculitis, and found that it can come from a variety of things, anywhere from medication to other infections.
Treatment includes:
Treat the underlying cause, if known (e.g. stop a medication, treat an infection)
Rest and elevate the affected area
Compression hosiery (18-25mm Hg pressure) if these can be tolerated
Pain relief using anti-inflammatory medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen or diclofenac
Systemic steroids (oral or injected) to settle the inflammation
Anti-inflammatory antibiotics including tetracycline or hydroxychloroquine
Potassium iodide
Surgical removal of persistent or ulcerated lesions.
