Hi Mr Biju,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms.

Neurofibromas are genetic in nature and it can not be cured by medicines.

Generally, the tumours are benign and would not harm you.

If there are large tumours, which are painful or if they are pressing on a nerve, then, surgery is needed to remove them.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
