This condition can be associated with Crohn's Disease, pregnancy, cat scratch disease or medications such as birth control. Treatment includes anti-inflammatory drugs and cortisone and the treatment of the health condition contributing to the condition. The lumps will subside after a few weeks and don't leave permanent scarring.
