Question: My 4 year old daughter has 4 small worm shaped growths in her legs. It started off as one larger lump. After massaging it and some herbal remedies it seemed to go away. Then it returned and seems to have spread to spots in both of her legs. They are not painful, but I am concerned...could it be a parasite or a growth?

1) Time of onset and duration of the problem ,

I first noticed the lump om her knee about a year ago. She said it was not painful or itching, i thought maybe she had fallen and caused a knot to form. After a few weeks it did not go away. I then noticed a very small vein/worm shaped something on the same leg under her knee. I then took her to an herbalist because the thing looked like a worm to me. The herbalist agreed and told me to take her to get her tested for parasites. At the time i did not have health insurance and I was not able to get the test done, so I administered the herbal remedies a tea made of wormwood, fennel, licorice root, cloves and ginger. She drank it for three weeks and i did daily massages with an oil i made by soaking the herbs in olive and almond oil and then one day she began to get feverish and had diarrhea. A few days after that her fever went away and the lump got substantially smaller. It was not all the way gone and we ran out of herbs and I didn't have the money to get her any right away. Plus the herbalist told us to take a break anyway because those herbs were strong for a three year old. So we took a break longer than we should three months had passed and the lump never returned but the worm shapes started popping up in other spots in her leg. At this time, we had gotten medical which is state issued health insurance in California and I took her to a doctor. He looked at the lesions and said that they were some type of growth. I told him about the parasite possibility and he completely ignored that but he hasn't tested for either, growths or worms.

2) Color of the skin over the lesions,

There is no real color sometimes they look alittle red

3) Any associated symptoms such as itching , scaling , redness, tenderness etc?

there is no itching, scaling, redness or tenderness However the first time she started taking the herbs she did get a rash around the area with the lesion but that went away.

4) Approximate size lesion ( comparitive), one on her knee is one inch, on her leg 3 inches on her calf 2 inches and back of her upper thigh 2 inches

5) History of any other illnesses,
no history of illness

6) details into the herbal remedies she was given.
