What Do Pea Sized Lumps Under The Skin Indicate?
I have over a dozen pea sized lumps under skin. They don't move. Over time they get darker. A purpleish brown color. Dr. Said they could be trauma from a bite or something but they are spreading. Mostly on legs, arms, back, hips. They are a hard lump. Cannot pop like a pimple.

HI.
A simple rule is = when in doubt remove one surgically and send it for histological examination. This will prove the diagnosis and give a guideline for further treatment.
Do not wait till all of them become bigger in size or number s and cause some complications
