Hi I am a healthy 25 year old male, physically fit and workout almost every day. I am concerned about multiple lumps or cysts all over my body. I am leaving for the Army in 2 months and dont want this to be an issue. They are not always bothersome but sometimes I feel more pressure in these areas. They are about the size of a marble up to the size of a large grape. I have one in my left forearm, right wrist, back of neck, 2 in front left thigh, 1 in back left thigh, 1 in right thigh. I may have more but have not yet discovered them. Is this something I should be worried about? I have been told by people who are not doctors that they are likely cysts and if they dont bother me then dont worry about it. Thanks for your time!Sincerely,Blake
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have multiple lipomatous or multiple neurofibromatosis. It is a benign tumor of soft tissue origin.  You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of one lump. It will give you exact diagnosis.  Surgical excision is the treatment of choice.  You have painful lump or for cosmetic purpose surgery is indicated.  Otherwise, no treatment is required. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
