Lumps that grow under the skin, also known as subcutaneous nodules, are abnormal masses or swellings that can appear in various parts of the body. These lumps can vary in size, consistency, and tenderness and may be soft or firm to the touch. They can arise from different types of tissue, including fatty tissue, connective tissue, or muscle, and may be either benign or indicative of a more serious condition. Common causes of subcutaneous lumps include lipomas, which are benign tumors made of fatty tissue, and cysts, which are fluid-filled sacs. Other potential causes include fibromas (benign tumors of connective tissue), dermatofibromas (fibrous nodules in the skin), or ganglion cysts (fluid-filled lumps that often develop near joints or tendons). In some cases, lumps may be indicative of more serious conditions such as infections, abscesses, or even cancer.
Treatment for subcutaneous lumps depends on the underlying cause. Benign lumps such as lipomas or cysts may not require treatment if they are not causing symptoms or affecting quality of life. However, if they are painful, growing, or causing cosmetic concerns, they can often be removed surgically. In the case of infections or abscesses, antibiotics or drainage procedures may be necessary. For lumps that are suspected to be cancerous or pre-cancerous, further diagnostic tests, such as biopsies, are essential to determine the appropriate course of treatment. Monitoring and regular follow-ups with a healthcare provider are important for managing any underlying conditions and ensuring proper care.
