Painful Nodules

Description:

Painful nodules are localized areas of thickened tissue that can develop in various parts of the body. These may be associated with underlying conditions such as infections, inflammatory diseases, or benign growths. The nodules can vary in size, consistency, and tenderness.

Common Causes:

• Infections, such as abscesses
• Autoimmune disorders
• Lipomas or cysts
• Trauma or injury

Management:

Treatment depends on the cause. For infections, antibiotics or drainage may be necessary. Benign growths like lipomas often do not require treatment unless they cause discomfort. Consulting a healthcare provider is advised for proper diagnosis and treatment.
