What are the possible causes of small lumps felt below the lower ribs on both sides of the abdomen?

Patient's question:

Abdominal palpation in the lower ribs on both sides reveals small bumps. What could be the reason? There has been recent pain on the left side, and I'm not sure if it's related. I'd like to ask what illness this might be. A liver check-up was done a while ago with no major issues, and a gastroscopy revealed some gastritis. I'm a bit worried about the cause. Could you please provide a general diagnosis and suggest how to treat it? Thank you. Additionally, when using a scraping board on the legs and calves, several purple bumps have appeared, which are also hard. What could be the reason for this? What illness might it be?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, I'm glad to answer for you. You feel there are lumps on both sides of your abdomen. The best method is to have a color Doppler ultrasound examination in the hospital to rule out abnormalities. Additionally, there are several purple bags on your legs, which were scraped with a scraper. It may be caused by scraping leading to abnormal blood circulation. It is recommended to continue observing, no need to observe. Special treatment can only say to heal gradually. If it exceeds 24 hours, consider applying heat.
