It is rare in the skin. The more common nerve growth is the neuroma. Many people have a genetic condition known as Neurofibromatosis (NF). This genetic disease causes overgrowth of many tissues, including the skin, and has two forms. The more common form, NF1, causes people to grow numerous neuromas on the skin, often several hundred over time. The less common form of NF, NF2, causes skin growths known as schwannomas. Healthy individuals can occasionally grow a benign neuroma or schwannoma on the skin. The cause of this is unknown but not thought to be alarming.

The ACD would be a reaction to a list of things; dyes or perfumes in toilet paper or baby wipes. Also a metal allergy to the metal 'buttons' on children's chairs, metal chairs, or bleachers. (Much like the nickel allergy you think of from earrings or watches.) The kids could also be allergic to the varnish on toilet seat covers too. The ID would be chemical residue on toilet seats that both children and adults.

What else is there? What else can be done, testing/exams, to determine the cause and then treat/eliminate it?
