Dercum's is one condition with similar swellings but are painful.
Hello, I've been looking for answers about this condition my whole life. I got my first lump when i was in 7th grade and am now 29 years old. It started with 1 lump on the top my right thigh, about a year later i got another right above it. over the next few years the number seemed to grow exponentially. Majority of them range in size from golf ball to a BB. It drives me crazy cause i have a few LARGE ones on the backs of my thighs and are really uncomfortable to sit on hard surfaces. I've seen a few doctors over the years and have received the same story "just fat, don't worry". i have 2 other brothers this is affecting as well. they don't seem to have as many as i do. our theory is they form from skin getting pinched. doesn't really make a lot of sense but is just a theory.
If anyone has a legit remedy to this i'd love to hear it!!!!!!!!!!!!
