What Causes Leg Lumps?
My mother is 51 years old, is a diabetic, and became anemic again in the past month. She has to leg ulcers: one on her left and one on the right. The right one is the worst which causes a lot of pain. My mother has been going to wound care, but in the past few days she has developed these large lumps above and below the leg ulcers. She is/has been on antibotics and now on Iron and a pain killer. What are the leg lumps from?

Hellow,
Diabetic are more prone to infection,most of the time small wound develops into ulcer,for it insulin has to be started and regular dressing should be done,prober wound care along with antibiotic is done,the lump you mentioned,difficult to comment from history,need to examine it,take a opinion from surgeon.
Hope this information
