Hard Lumps Under The Skin Spreading On The Body. Whom Should I Consult To Get Them Removed?
I have multiple hard roundish (almost marble like) under my skin. My father has them too and said his dr said they were fatty tumors and not dangerous. Over the years, I have more and more of them. On my forearms, my thighs and butt. What are they? Are they dangerous? and what kind of dr would remove them? (I am a trim, fit person..so they are very noticable).

There is a condition called neurofibromatoses in which several nodules form on the body. It is non-serious unless any nodule gives pain locally or starts rapid growth. However you must consult a general surgeon also
