Lipomas

A skin lipoma is a soft, fatty growth which develops under your skin. It can be found anywhere on your body, but usually forms on your neck, shoulders or back. A lipoma typically feels soft and does not cause any pain.

A lipoma also occurs just under the skin, is soft to the touch and moves easily if prodded with the finger. Other distinct features of a lipoma include it being pale and colourless and grows very slowly.

Sebaceous Cyst

A sebaceous cyst is a small lump or bump on the skin which is non-cancerous. It is most frequently found on the face, neck, upper chest and upper back. However, they can occur anywhere else on the skin.

Usually, a sebaceous cyst grows gradually and does not cause any pain. However, they may become infected or inflamed, and the overlying skin turns red, sore and tender. A bad-smelling, cheese-like material can sometimes also drain from your cyst. In these cases, treatment can reduce the discomfort you experience and improve the appearance of your skin.

Skin Abscess

A skin abscess is a bump on your skin which contains a collection of pus. It usually develops from a skin infection or the introduction of foreign matter under your skin. A typical skin abscess is painful, swollen and warm when you touch it. The skin surrounding your abscess appears pink or red. Skin abscesses may occur in any part of your skin. Common places of skin abscess include your underarms and groins, face, chest, back and buttocks.

It is important to note that though unlike skin cysts which are fluid-filled lumps which are not infected, skin abscesses are infected areas of skin. It is possible for skin abscesses to develop from skin cysts.

Enlarged Lymph Glands

Lymph glands, also known as lymph nodes, are small, oval-shaped organs located throughout your body. They form part of your body’s immune system, and they enable your body to recognise and fight infections.

When the lymph glands become enlarged, they swell, and you may start to experience pain around the swelling. Lymph nodes become swollen when there are signs of infection, illness, or stress. The swelling is one sign that your lymphatic system is working to rid your body of the responsible agents.

In cases where the lymph glands do not subside after a couple of weeks, you are usually recommended to seek professional advice from a doctor to assess if a biopsy is necessary to rule out the possibility of cancer.

Summary

Any new lumps or bumps that you develop should be brought to the attention of a medical professional. While rare, lumps and bumps can be an indication of cancer (lymphomas or metastatic cancer from other sites), infections such as cat-scratch fever, or old trauma scars and other problems.

Although it is impossible to know what something is until it is out and looked at under the microscope, doctors are usually able to determine if the lesion is a classic cyst, lipoma, abscess, or a swollen lymph gland and whether it needs to be biopsied or removed.
