I am 24 year old with weight 140 kg. From last three years I am suffering from lumps on skin. It all started with keloid on my chest near sternum after that I suffered from cellulitis under the front part of my neck then I got lumps behind my neck. Which usually go away after taking medicine like cefuroxime axetil or ammoxocyclin whichever my doctor prescribes. But those lumps again starts to develop after sometimes. On asking my doc that I want permanent solution then they say may be you are not following good hygiene but that is not the case any idea am I suffering from very dangerous disease.

Do you get other infections too commonly? If yes we are looking at some immunological disease if its in the same site, that is, your neck it might be due to tuberculosis now both of these can be managed and I would advice you to consult me regarding the same.

Hi lybrate-user, you should see a surgeon doctor to rule out what exactly these lumps are. Proper diagnosis can only be done by palpating these lumps, looking at them in person weight reduction is very important in your age. Such high can weight can cause metabolic syndrome- hypertension, diabetes mellitus, altered lipid profile, obesity, increased risk of heart disease, thereby leading to various skin problems. Try to reduce stress, weight, avoid self medication and visit a surgeon in person. Have a good day.
