Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am 45 years old and have developed small lumps on the same spot on both sides of my body. It is a little below my right rib cage and above my hip and the same on the left side. These lumps are felt under the skin and sometimes painful. I am concerned because they were not there before and I have a history of cancer in my family.
