Little Bumps, did you have them Vets and what did you do about them?
on 4/9/13 12:42 pm
I am 8mo out. I first noticed these this last stay in the hospital. When you rub your hand along my arms or thighs, you can feel little bumps. On my knees, they are starting to show. The Dr's in the hospital said they are fat deposits since I have lost so much so quickly, I'm down 147 in this time. I do not feel them on my calves or stomach, just on my arms (both upper and lower & thighs and knees)
I called and talked to the NP at my surgeon's office. She was very nice. She told me "Yes, they are fat cells, that are being tough, probably the oldest on my body (to quote her)." I asked her "How do I get rid of them or will they go away on their own?" She then replied, "They will eventually go away on their own but it might take awhile." I asked "How long is awhile?" She said "I've seen them last for a couple of years." She said, "Just wait, there is really nothing else you can do."
I just wondered if anyone had this. Is there anything that can be done that anyone knows of?
Thanks!
PS --- I am having problems posting tonight. I don't know what is going on.
Make sure they check your Vit A and B2 levels.

Hyperkeratosis (from Ancient Greek: ὑπέρ (hyper, “over”); keratos - keratin) is thickening of the stratum corneum, often associated with a qualitative abnormality of the keratin,[1] and also usually accompanied by an increase in the granular layer. As the corneum layer normally varies greatly in thickness in different sites, some experience is needed to assess minor degrees of hyperkeratosis.
Follicular
Follicular hyperkeratosis dass (also called "Phrynoderma") is a skin condition characterized by excessive development of keratin in hair follicles, resulting in rough, cone-shaped, elevated papules. The openings are often closed with a white plug of encrusted sebum.
This condition has been shown in several small-scale studies to respond well to supplementation with vitamins and fats rich in essential fatty acids. Some research suggests this is due mainly to E and B vitamins.[3] Vitamin A is also listed as connected to the pathology.[4]
