Lumps, Bumps and Moles
About Lumps, Bumps, and Moles
What are they?
“Lumps, bumps, and moles” is a general term that typically refers to warts, skin tags, cysts, fat deposits, and more. Normally, these skin growths and irregularities are benign; however, they can have a negative impact on your self-esteem because they often form on parts of your body that are easily visible, such as the face or neck. Other areas of the body that frequently develop lumps, bumps, and moles include the torso, back, arms, legs, and groin.
What causes them?
Since lumps, bumps, and moles can develop from a multitude of reasons, it is important to schedule an appointment with a dermatologist who can properly identify and treat your particular skin condition.
