Skin lumps - concerns
Information
Many people wonder if small bumps or lumps on the body are something to worry about. The majority of lumps that appear on your body are harmless, especially the kind that feel soft and roll easily (lipomas). See skin lumps for details.
However, always be sure to show any new or changing lumps to your doctor.
