What Causes Muscular Numbness In Panniculitis Patient?

Hi, I was diagnosed with PANNICULITUS, 16 months ago, which appeared on my lower left leg. My Dermatologist only prescribed DOVATE cream, which I apply when inflamed. No other oral medication or future treatment were discussed. Very recently, this past month, I have been experiencing discomfort in my right Bicep, to the extend that I could not apply roll on deodorant as I normally would. it has subsided substantially though, but the numbness in that particular muscle is there. please recommend treatment and diet. thank you.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Symptoms of Panniculitis disappear and reappear again. The numbness in the arm could be due to the slight nerve pressure changes caused due to the swelling of panniculitis. As far as diet goes, you have to focus on a balanced diet and avoid junk food, drink lots of water. Be observant of your panniculitis and take an anti-inflammatory tablet when the swelling erupts.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Smruti Pevekar
