Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
To recapitulate: Male/31 - noted the medical history, current medications and Known allergies - several skin cysts/lumps in body - consulted few Doctors - suggested to operate but said about reappearance ...

My thoughts as per the history your have provided:
- If the lumps are smooth, non-tender, freely XXXXXXX and of various sizes, these are most probably lipomas. These are benign and do not recur after surgery.
- Nerofibromatosis is a very rare disease and presents itself differently.

Since you have been examined and may be investigated, please tell me the diagnosis that was told to you. If not, get a proper diagnosis so that we can discuss further.
I also hope you have been given proper therapeutic dosages for Vitamin deficiencies.

I hope this answer helps you, please feel free to ask for further relevant queries
