I have been doing some research. Before becoming very sick (waking up one morning feel completely different) I have developed over the years lumps underneath my skin. They are either subcutaneous nodules, fatty cysts, or lipomas along my extremities. There are also maybe 3 on my back and 2 on my thigh.
I have always been told they are fatty hard lumps. I can pick them up and squeeze them. Some hurt and are sensitive and some aren't. They range in size and have a rubbery feeling. They are not colored and are the same color as my skin. They look something like this:
They are not as noticable like the ones in that picture.
My LLMD said the other day that it could be Bartonella, which scares me because that means I have had them for most of my childhood/teen years. I did have a tick on my head at 8 years old which I was never given anything for.
However, I have also been researching that they can developed from untreated Streptococcal Infections.
Also, when I looked at what the bacteria looks like, it is 99.99% identical to my eye floaters which are always there when looking into the light and always look the same when floating around:
