Question: Could these be calcium deposits?
Could these be calcium deposits?
I would like some more opinions on this :)
I have a teenager, and I have these bumps on my leg. They are soft to the touch, only slightly tender. they have appeared over the past three or four months, all in sucession. I showed them to my mom and she thinks they are just calcium deposits, but this doesn't sound right to me. Calcium deposits are most common in women above 35, the same age group that is most at risk for osteoporosis.
However, I realize that it is possible that these could just be calcium deposits. I want some more opinions on this, so what do you think?

Calcium deposits that you can visually see ? Maybe on a x-ray in breast tissue but this is on your leg. If they are soft and can be moved slightly and appears to be actually in the skin it is more likely that it is sebaceous cysts, but it is possible that it could be something very different. You need to see a doctor. Any unusual bump or lump that has been present for more than a month needs to be seen by a physician.
