A member asked:

What is xanthogranuloma? big breaking out of the skin lumps with lumps very painful if touched other wise they just keep swelling

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See a dermatologist: Xanthogranulomas are benign, usually asymptomatic, self-healing, red, yellow, or brown papules or nodules. Most common in younger patients, but adults too. There are some medications used to treat this disorder and a dermatologist will help you to understand and feel relief. Good luck!
