NF or neurofibromatosis is a relatively common entity among other rare genodermatoses, but Please don't be so hasty in the diagnosis.
Skin lesions of NF can be simulated by many other dermatoses. So it needs biopsy followed by histopathological confirmation before going any treatment.
Currently, no medications are effective in NF skin lesions.
It is removed surgically if they are few in numbers and there are no contraindications.
Next Steps
Consult a local/ nearby Dermatologist to confirm the lesions.
If he/she confirm it as NF, consult a ophthalmologist too to rule out eye pathologies if any.
Health Tips
No use of taking oral medications/herbal treatments as it will not regress with drugs.
