My dad is 43 yrs old 6' 3" tall and weighs about 250lbs he's on no meds and has been sick with respiratory issues on and off for months now. Here in the last yr he has got lumps popping up all over his body mostly his back and stomach , he says they are painful, they are purple in color and vary in size they do go away but when they do the purple spot remains.
I read.carefully your concern. You don't explain what kind of respiratory problems but as i can understand these purple lumps may be related to a chronic lung disease called sarcoidosis.And these lumps are called erythematosus nodules. They are painful, stay for some days and disappear with or without treatment.Sarcoidosis when presents with these signs is in stage I -II and it is an early stage. So don't worry .
I wish your dad a fast recovery Thank you Dr Jolanda Pulmonologist
