What Is Calcinosis Cutis?
7. Symptoms
The symptoms of calcinosis cutis will depend largely on which type the patient is suffering from. Perhaps the most typical of the symptoms is the formation of hard lumps beneath the skin. These will often show through the skin and will be yellow/white in color.
The lumps will tend to appear in different places according to the specific type of calcinosis cutis. Depending on their location, they may be painless, or they may be agonizing. As mentioned, calciphylaxis can cause ulcers on the surface of the skin that can be very dangerous for the patient. Calciphylaxis an also result in blood clots.
