Bumps On Cheek
A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭

Since I was diagnosed with diabetes in February of this year. I have been getting small bumps on my cheek area. Not sure what it is and don't pick at them. They don't hurt or itch. I just feel them and know that they are there.

@A DiabetesTeam Member! I've lived with those marble size bumps for years. Was @ some point worried they could be cancerous. Requested blood test & was relieved to know they just "Cellulite",. Not painful nor itching. They come & go. They confined to my upper arms & thighs. Only I know they there, they not visible to others. You the 1st person I've come across having these.

Could be a gluten intolerance. From eating wheat. Try gluten free products. Just keep them in fridge to keep longer for bread. See if they go away.

It is not skin tags. My cheeks are not red. Could possibly be acne which I had before. Maybe when I have my blood sugar under control it will go away.
