Lumps and Bumps

There are a number of skin conditions that can cause lumps and bumps to appear on either the surface or directly under the skin:

• Skin Cysts

• Cherry Angioma

• Keratoacanthoma

• Keratosis Pilaris

• Lipomas

• Neurofibromas

• Dermatofibromas

• Epidermoid Cysts

• Folliculitis

Skin cysts are the most common and appear as small, closed pockets formed with tissue. They are usually filled with some sort of fluid. Cysts are typically known to be noncancerous and benign. They can appear on any part of the skin. They develop due to the clogging of sebaceous glands, around foreign materials or infection. They tend to grow slowly and are generally cause no pain.
