I have recently developed lumps in 5 different areas on my body that i have scars or scar tissue. all came in the last month. what is going on?

Lumps: Lumps on old scars are unusual but new scars can be lumpy due to keloid formation which is an abnormal thickening of scar tissue that some people tend to produce. Multiple lumps apart from scar tissue are often lipomas which are benign fatty tissue deposits. Your physician can evaluate and advise you.
