Skin lumps and bumps are commonly found in our skin and are usually classified as Cysts and Lipomas. Though benign in nature, they can get larger over time and many patients prefer to have them removed to improve aesthetics or if lumps are restricting movement.
Common causes of skin lumps and bumps are:
- Obstruction of flow in sebaceous glands
- Obstruction of flow between layers of skin
- Naturally occurring fat accumulation above the muscles
Treatment of skin lumps and bumps include:
- Thorough clinical diagnosis & ultrasound imaging
- Local anesthesia for painless removal of smaller lumps
- General anesthesia for excision if required
