Hi,

I feel that most probably you may be having neurofibromas. Consult the surgeon or dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis.

After thorough examination and investigations, he might give proper advice.

If the lesions are benign and not embarrassing, no treatment may be needed. If the swellings are harming, they may be removed surgically.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
