I need to know what type of doctor to seek out to treat dercums, as well as what types of treatment are typical. thank you?

Dermatologist: This is so rare, I would think if you have this diagnosis you would have already seen the doctor probably best equipped to help you, a dermatologist. This is a RARE genetic disease causing multiple, painful, benign fatty tumors called lipomas, largely occurring in women. Treatment includes weight loss, if needed, excision (removal) of painful, larger lumps and pain medication.
