Skin Lumps

Skin Lumps are lesions that can grow on or under the skin. The Skin is one of the largest body organs by surface area and a variety of lesions can arise from it. Some skin lumps may appear on the skin when they actually arise from deeper structures like the bone, joints or muscle.

Skin Lumps are best divided into Benign and Malignant (Cancerous) lumps.

Benign lumps account for the vast majority of skin lesions and can occur at all ages. The common lumps (accounting for over 90% of benign lumps) include the following:

1. Sebaceous Cyst
2. Lipoma
3. Fibroma and Neuroma
4. Skin Tags
5. Viral Warts
6. Moles

Malignant lumps are in the minority and tend to occur in the older population. The common skin cancers include the following:

1. Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC)
2. Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC)
3. Malignant Melanoma
