Suggest Treatment For Red, Hot And Hard Lumps On The Body

I have around 30 hard, painful lumps on my body (ankles, shins, knees, wrist, and skull) of varying sizes (pea to fist). They re red and hot to the touch. They started showing up around 3 weeks to a month ago and they haven t decreased in size or gone away. I haven t been injured at all recently. New ones pop up all the time. Also, I ve had recent periods of feeling extremely dizzy for a few minutes and a couple times I ve forgotten how to spell everyday words. The big ones aren t perfectly circular and they extend for about 3 inches long. I m a teenager so it isn t an age thing. Please help.

Hi,

Since you are a young lady such hard lumps can occur due to many a reasons which need the following:
Consult a Dermatologist to know the clinical diagnosis.
This can be aided by FNAC or biopsy if needed.
Get investigated well by blood tests for CBC, sugar, liver and kidney functions, culture if these are suspected to be due to infection, RA factor and as advised by the Dermatologist.
All these will a proper diagnosis and proper management.
Do not try anything at home before being properly diagnosed.

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

Regards,
Dr. T Chandrakant, General Surgeon
