Hi, my 7 yr old has painful lumps on his feet, on the side below his little toe and on the bridge. They appear bruised tonight although they have been there for months now. His ankle bone looks swollen too. What can we do please, he is in a lot of pain.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your sons situation and problem. Painful, multiple lumps on lower limb can be due to 1. Staphylococcal infection (cellulitis) 2. Allergic skin lesions 3. Connective tissue disease (CTD). So better to consult dermatologist and get done clinical examination and blood investigations like ANA level, hemoglobin estimation, total ABCs, serum IGE level etc. to rule out above-mentioned possible causes. First diagnose himself and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. Wishing good health to your son. Thanks.
