hello,
as per the details u have given, the description enough doesnt help in diagnosing the clinical problem
, But any way neurofibroma run through genes through autosomal dominent ., and u didnt mention whether they are multiple , and location wise whether they are soft free ball like things over skin or underneath the skin ,?
pinless or painful?
becoz even LIPOMA presents like same,. i advise u to consult a general surgeon to rule the condition exactly . and treatment depends on the clinical condition .
