Multiple Small Bumps?Neurofibromatosis/Under Diagnostic Assessment

Detailed Answer:
Brief Ans-Multiple Small Bumps?Neurofibromatosis/Under Diagnostic Assessment

Hi,Dear,Thanks for your query to HCM.
I studied your query in depth and reviewed it with your health concerns.
I also reviewed your updated picture in reference to your query facts.
Based on the query facts-
a-Single number 3 yrs back increasing to 40-50 on the back with some on arms/thighs/on belly!!
b-Some are little painful
and on facts of inspection of your picture, I would suggest you to -
Go for FNAC Biopsy to keep the ambiguity and confusion over Neurofibromatosis,as it was diagnosed by your dermatologist.
The histopath report of any of the painful Bumps on the back or any where would fix the worry about the increasing numbers on the back and spread on the arms/ thighs/on belly!!
Before giving My opinion on these bumps,please update Me,how many Kgs of weight is put on by You, over last 3yrs.
Whether any of your family members/blood relative is suffering from such Multiple bumps?
Await for your information,to be replied in next session.
Till that time I would keep My fingers crossed on the Diagnostic possibilities of such Multiple bumps all over body.
Good Day!!

Brief Answer:
Multiple Bumps on body?Dercums Lipomatosis/Under Diagnostic Evaluation

Detailed Answer:
Brief Ans-Multiple Bumps on body/Under Diagnostic Evaluation
My Impresssion-Dercums Multiple Lipomatosis.

Hi,Dear,Thanks for the updates you gave.
Based on the facts of your query,In My expert opinion-
You don't seem to be a case of Neurofibromatosis-
and
- You positively seem to suffer from Familial Multiple Lipomatosis with Dercums Disease,as few Bumps are painful /
-Or/ which could be NeuroLipoma or Lipoma pressing on or involving the neural fiber in it-Which is a Benign Bumps with LEAST CHANCE OF IT BEING CANCER.

-Update Your Family History with Your real brothers and sisters/ cousins -Please ask with your brothers and sisters,about it and update Me if they have this bumpy illness with them.
-Don't worry,as they are not Cancerous and will not harm You.

Remedy-
-FNAC / or Surgical Excision Biopsy of the painful Lump from a Surgeon
and Second Opinion From a Surgeon would relieve you of your worry.
-Just Neglect about the increasing numbers as they are not Cancerous and are not going to harm YOU.
-Would suggest -Precautionary -All Body CT to rule out any Hidden Lump in brain or chest at Vital locations,to avoid risk from any Pressure Complaints from increase in size

Suggested Treatment-
-Planned Surgical Excision-Lumpectomy-Any Lump which is causing Pain and disturbed Cosmetic effect,would need Surgical Removal and that is the ONLY indication for Surgical Excision by -Lumpectomy.
-LIPOSUCTION-If your are obsessed with Large Numbers,this could be tried,as an option,but I would not advise it,as THESE ARE ALL HARMLESS BUMPS.

Cause of Such Lumps / And Risks with it-
-Least Risk of Such Lumps being transformed in to Cancer.
-Such bumps are have origin in the heredity,due to which the genes of this illness is transferred from your father and Mother /Or from YOur forefathers to You.

Its genetically transferred disease,this illness is transferred from one generation to another,where it may express or could remain hidden in few and be passed on unknowingly sometimes to next generation.

Hope this reply with all its angles explained would resolve Your Anxiety and would resolve your WORRIES with it.
