What Causes Loss Of Skin Elasticity And Lumps Under The Skin?

Female age 77 arms and legs have lost elasticity and sag which I understand is normal as you age. Also I weight loss at late age does not permit skin to tighten so upon rubbing arms and legs I have begun to feel lots of different size lumps if pressed hard enough they are mildly painful but otherwise of no annoyance. They are not visible on the skin surface.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

I think you should get further checked because the lumps may be related to enlarged lymph nodes. Do a total blood count with formula and ERS. Get checked for mononucleosis.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka , General & Family Physician
