导言

An overview of lumps and bumps

Lumps and bumps on the skin can be formed due to various reasons. It is up to your medical specialist to identify the type of lump or bump and determine the right course of treatment. In rare cases, lumps and bumps can indicate different types of cancer.
Lumps and bumps are generally formed due to skin lipomas, sebaceous cysts, skin abscesses and swollen lymph glands.

Understanding the type of lump and bump

Skin Lipoma

A skin lipoma is a lump of fatty tissues that usually forms under the surface of the skin. They may appear anywhere on the body especially the neck, shoulder and back. A skin lipoma is soft to the touch and typically does not cause any pain.

Sebaceous Cyst

Sebaceous cysts are oil-filled bumps that form due to trapped sebum underneath the skin. They are usually found near hair follicles, but can also appear on the face, neck, chest and back. Sebaceous cysts may cause discomfort if they become infected or inflamed, turning the skin red and sore.

Skin Abscess

A skin abscess is a lump on your skin containing pus. They generally appear red on the skin, warm to the touch and are painful. An abscess can develop from infected cysts or general infections of the skin. Most abscesses may continue to get worse without care and can cause the infection to spread into deeper tissues.

Swollen Lymph Node

Swollen lymph nodes typically occur due to infection from bacteria or viruses. In rare cases, they are linked to cancer. Lymph nodes are bean-shaped organs that run throughout your body with the purpose of fighting infections and diseases.

Swollen lymph nodes may be accompanied with symptoms such as the common cold, flu and rapidly growing nodes (which may be indicative of cancer and lymphoma).

概述

Are lumps and bumps a cause for concern?

Fortunately, most lumps and bumps are harmless and not a cause for concern. In rare or severe cases though, they may be linked to cancer or infections such as cat-scratch fever.

When to see a doctor?

Lumps may be a sign of serious issues when they are large, hard and grow in size over the weeks. If you notice an unexplained lump with such characteristics, consider getting an evaluation and treatment from a doctor.
