Suggest Treatment For Swollen Nodules In Wrist And Elbow
Yes, I have never even thought to ask a Dr. about nodules. However, my left arm is completely covered with small nodules from the wrist up to the elbow - only on the top side of the forearm. Most of them are small and raised and the ugliest sight I ve ever encountered. I must wear long sleve shirts to cover them because I m so embarrassed when someone asks about them. I never raised the question until now? Can you give me any suggestion on how these are removed. I have been able to remove one or two by getting my fingers under the nodule and twist until it falls off. However, I don t think it would work on several of the larger ones. If you can make any suggestion, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much. PS: How do I know how to pay you? Can
