What Is the Difference
Between Lumps
and Bumps?

Lumps and bumps are terms often used interchangeably, but they can refer to different types of skin or tissue changes. Lumps are usually deeper and may involve underlying tissues, while bumps are often more superficial and visible on the skin’s surface. Many of these are benign growths, meaning they are not cancerous, but it’s important to identify them correctly.
The most common types include cysts, lipomas, and dermatofibromas, each with unique characteristics. Symptoms such as pain, tenderness, changes in size, or color can help guide a proper evaluation, but even painless growths should be examined by a healthcare professional to rule out more serious conditions.

What Are Cysts?

Cysts are common, benign, sac-like growths that may be filled with a semi-solid or liquid-like material. These growths may remain the same size over time; however, occasionally they can grow and get infected, causing pain, redness, and irritation at the site.

Treatment Options

Many people turn to home remedies to relieve lumps, bumps, and cysts, but it’s important to understand that these methods rarely cure the condition completely. Warm compresses or gentle massage may help reduce discomfort and improve the appearance of a cyst or bump on the scalp or other areas of the body. While these remedies can offer temporary comfort, they are not a substitute for professional medication or treatment when needed, especially if the growth changes in size, color, or becomes painful.
  1. Initially, we will inject the cyst with intralesional steroids to shrink it. At times, the injection can eliminate the cyst entirely.
  2. If the cyst appears infected, then a course of oral antibiotics will be prescribed.
  3. Definitive treatment for cysts is an excision, which we perform in-office under local anesthesia. All excisions are carefully planned to ensure the benign nature of the cyst.

Your Appointment:
What to Expect

Your appointment begins with a thorough consultation, where our dermatologist will ask about your medical history, current symptoms, and any changes in your lumps, bumps, or cysts. This helps guide the next steps in your care.
During the physical examination, the affected areas will be carefully assessed. The location, size, and texture of each growth are noted to help ensure an accurate diagnosis.
If needed, additional tests such as biopsies or imaging may be performed to determine the nature of the growth. These steps are especially important for resistant cases or unusual lesions that don’t respond to initial treatments.
Based on the findings, a personalized treatment plan will be discussed. This plan may include in-office procedures, medication, or follow-up care to address the growth effectively.
Many patients require follow-up visits to monitor healing and ensure the condition does not recur. These appointments allow your dermatologist to adjust your care plan as needed.

Who Is Typically Affected by Lumps, Bumps, and Cysts?

Lumps, bumps, and cysts can occur in people of all ages, but certain factors may increase the likelihood of developing them. Some are linked to chronic skin conditions or thickened skin caused by repeated friction or irritation. Others may form after insect bites, minor injuries, or infection, while some result from the same virus that causes common skin growths like warts. Hormonal influences, such as changes in the pituitary gland or use of oral contraceptives, can also play a role in their development. While many growths are harmless, some require treatment to prevent complications or reduce discomfort.
For many patients, these growths can be emotionally challenging, especially when they are visible or cause discomfort. Symptoms can include tenderness, itchy sensations, burning, or inflammation, which can affect daily life. In rare cases, lumps, bumps, or cysts may indicate a more serious condition, making evaluation by a healthcare professional essential. Identifying the exact cause helps guide appropriate care and ensures that treatment addresses the underlying issue effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Cysts generally form beneath the skin surface and do not typically involve blood vessels. Most cysts remain localized and do not interfere with circulation, although larger cysts may press on surrounding tissue and cause minor discomfort.
Cysts can sometimes affect hair follicles, especially in areas where they commonly develop, such as the scalp. This may result in temporary thinning or patchy hair loss, but hair often regrows once the cyst is treated or removed.
Most excision procedures are performed under local anesthesia, so patients experience minimal discomfort. The treatment helps provide relief from pain or pressure caused by the cyst, and techniques like liquid nitrogen therapy may also be used for smaller lesions. After healing, some scars may form, but proper care ensures they blend with the surrounding texture of the skin.
While most cysts are harmless, certain types may indicate more serious issues if left untreated. In rare instances, a cyst could be associated with skin cancer, including basal cell carcinoma, or a systemic disease affecting the body. Though uncommon, some cysts can signal life-threatening conditions or other conditions that require medical evaluation.
