I'm a newbie!!

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone my name is and I'm 23 years old. I started to

get these certain red nodules on my leg in Jan. and I got really

freaked out. On a Sat afternoon my mother and I were looking at

wedding dresses(just got engaged,yeh!) and so for some reason I just

got really emotional and had to show her. On both of my lower legs

there were these bumps all pretty much on my bone with some on the

back of my lower leg as well. They were really really red on this

day and I kept saying it's so gross, it looks like a spine. I went

to my family doctor and he said he didn't know what it was, which

was not very calming for me. I had done some research on the

internet and found the EN and I said I think that it was this. He

said it could be, it looked like it, but I set up a an appt for for

my derm. and he confirmed this is what it was. Well, it is now

almost May and I still have the nodulules and don't really know what

to do. He gave me anti-inflammatories but I haven't really taked

them because I thought they made me eat a lot. I just recently went

back to the derm and he said that we could do some potassium drops

but it doesn't taste very well, or he said we could do a biopsy to

make sure its not cancerous, but he doesn't want to because he

doensn't think it is that. So now I am here and would really like

anyones opinion on what sort of things to do. Is this all normal? I

would appreciate it very much since it is making me feel very self-

conscious especially since the summer is coming and I live in AZ!

Thanks everyone and its awesome to meet everyone.
