What Causes Swollen Lumps All Over The Body?
I have a small lumps all over my body, the first lump i detected is in the right lower region on my stomach on top of the right pelvic bone. It is a size of a small pea(1 cm) which moves if i touch, but it feels as if it is attached to the region but still able to move. There s no pain, but just some twitches sometimes. Even that i didn t took it seriously at first, because i thought it was a fat lump. I use to be a really big person, and i have lost around 55 kg over 1 and half years. I detect this lump around one to two month ago. But now im finding lumps whole over my body, on my arm(upper limb of my left hand), on my neck, left side on my mouth which can only be noticed if i touched from outer region, and finally on my left leg. I noticed all this lumps few days ago and i am really worried. Is this a swollen lymph nodes or something else? By the way I am only 19 years old male. There is history of a person(who is not a close relative who had cancer which is my uncle)

Hi,Dear thanks for the query to HCM virtual clinic.
I studied your query in full details updated from you.I understood your health concerns.
Based on your query data, In my opinion ,Dear You seem to suffer from Dercums Lipomatosis/disease,which is a benign heriditary disease.
A history of cancer would certainly keep you on Guard and ALERT.
Get Biopsy of the painful lump on the right lower abdomen to confirm if its Lipoma or some thing else.
Chances of Cancer / Liposarcoma in Lipoma is very rare,though should be kept in mind.
Other wise-keep a watch if any of this lipoma grows and or causes cosmtic or pressure complaints, for which it would need Surgical Excision biopsy that time.
Don't worry for this illness as it is harmless otherwise being a benign familial disease.
Hope this would resolve your query and worry and Anxiety accompanied with it.
Welcome for any further query in this regard to ME.I would love to help you out.
Awaiting for any further query.
Wish you fast recovery from this intriguing health problem.
