What Could Nodules In The Leg Be?
I am 25 years old. I have multiple subepithelial nodules around my abdomen, the feel like small lipomas. I have had some of them for up to 8 years. They do not seem to ever change in size, and very rarely they will feel somewhat sensitive. I also recently noticed I have a similar nodule on the back side of my leg. I was just wondering if these were lipomas, something associated with a syndrome? Thank you.
