Hi Mary Ellen. Unless you have the skin growths biopsy can only tell if the are concer. From what I understand most skin lesions are not related to lymphoma . You should have them looked at and if they need to be removed ask about GENTLE CURE. GOOD LUCK and God's grace to you. Your on my team ok? Christine Pofok.

Are skin growths on your nose related to follicular lymphoma?

Skin growths on your nose aren't typically listed as common symptoms of follicular lymphoma. The most common visible symptom is painless swelling in lymph nodes, usually in the neck, armpits, or groin.

However, follicular lymphoma can cause some skin-related changes, including:

* Petechiae or purpura (small purple or red patches on pale skin, or dark splotches on darker skin) from low platelet counts
* Telangiectasias (widened blood vessels that look like red or dark purple spider-like lines) as a side effect of radiation or chemotherapy
* Pale skin from anemia

The skin growths you're describing on your nose don't match these typical lymphoma-related skin changes. What should you do?

It's really important to talk to your doctor about any new symptoms, including these skin growths and the lump. New symptoms could indicate your lymphoma is progressing, developing into another type, or you may be experiencing a complication or treatment side effect.

Your healthcare team can examine these growths, determine what they are, and whether they're related to your follicular lymphoma or something else entirely that needs attention.
