Cysts are typically fluid- or keratin-filled sacs beneath the skin, while lipomas are soft, fatty growths that develop just under the surface. Other skin growths may include benign lesions that vary in size, texture, and appearance.
You may notice a lump under the skin, a bump that grows over time, or an area that becomes tender, inflamed, or infected. While most are harmless, proper evaluation is important to determine whether treatment or removal is recommended.
