A member asked:
I have l4/5 cauda equina nerve root nodule; biopsy needed - can spinal tumor cause skin changes; enlarging dark blotches on that area of back/spine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes it can : depending on what the spinal nerve nodule is. A skin disease can cause the nerve nodules just as nerve nodules can cause skin changes
