Suggest Remedy For Painful Lumps In Skin
Hi--I am a 60 year-old, moderately obese Caucasian woman with multiple health issues, but one in particular worries me. I have MANY extremely painful lumps under the skin, all over my body. Some of them are turning a bluish color, and if I touch or bump them, they cause great pain. They started appearing about 5 years ago, when I was dx d with fibromyalgia. The doctor says it s just your fibromyalgia but anything I have read doesn t say that the lumps are so painful--that they are more of a nuisance than anything. What I have cannot be called a nuisance--they hurt!! Any ideas?

thanks for sharing your concern!
there is nothing to worry about this; these are nothing but possibly neurofibromas! could be hemangiomas also!
for confirmation an FNAC test is useful in such cases!
