Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have painful subcutaneous lumps about the size of a bb to a small marble in several places on my body. One in my leg. One in my side and a couple in my arms. they are nit getting bigger quickly and they have been there for a couple of years but they are very slowly increasing in size. What are they?
Multiple subcutaneous swelling most common are multiple Lipomas. Lipoma are present in around 10% individuals. They are soft , mobile, non tender. They need not require any treatment unless they are large or causing any cosmetid problem. Another possibility is neurofibroma. Both can be removed by local excision under local anaesthesia. You should consult surgeon.
