What Do Tender Lumps On Thighs And Upper Arms Indicate, Doctor Diagnosed It As Harmless Fatty Lumps?
I have tender lumps on top of my thighs and around my upper arms. Not a lot. Just a few. I asked my dr. about it and he said not to worry. They are just fatty lumps that cause no harm. But I'm still curious about them. I did gain quite a bit of weight in the last 40 years. About 35 extra pounds. So hopefully my dr. is correct. thanks for your help
Hi, From history it seems that you might be having few Neuro- Fibromatosis lumps in arms and thighs. Nothing to worry,they are benign and may remain through out life without giving any problem. There are no need of removal as you may get few more as well. Ok and take care.
