A member asked:

After losing 45 lbs, i have tiny lumps under skin of my abdomen. they are fairly mobile, small, and there are dozens. are they accumulations of fat?

Possibly: These could be fat nodules or cysts. However it could be something else. Please see a dermatologist to have these evaluated.
