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.
Common treatments
Our dermatologists have the training, knowledge, and experience to help you manage a variety of lumps, bumps, moles, warts, cysts and other skin irregularities. Treatment options include surgical excision, and prescription oral or topical medications. In some cases, such as with moles, only simple observation is necessary. However, since benign skin growths and irregularities vary from person to person, a consultation with one of our dermatologists is the only way to know which treatment is best for you.
