question: Hi, I'm a 46 year old female and about 6 months ago I noticed a lump on my lower right leg. It gradually got smaller within about 2 months and went away but it left a slight indent. I also had one on the left leg, at the knee, on the left side of my leg. It was very sore all the time but it is gone now. I have noticed another on the back of my calf on both legs, the skin is a little red and they are sore at times but they itch. They both seem to be getting smaller, as the others did. My lower left leg is swollen a little and has been for a couple of weeks. Could this be the result of a vitamin defiencency? I have become addicted to cottage cheese, it's about the only thing i eat and I know it doesn't have many vitamins in it. Thank you, Debbie Please let me know what it could be.
