Question 1

please describe the strange lumps on my back and abdomen?

Accepted Answer

Different options: The body has a lot of things in it both in the skin and below it.  Sweat glands, hair follicles and skin cysts as well as lymph nodes, fatty tissue, tendons, bones and other things.  Is the lump growing, inflamed, painful, painless, draining, recurrent or constant, moveable or fixed...?  Each of these (and many more) will provide your doc the answers as to what it is and what needs to be done.

Question 2

i have about 3 small lumps on my abdomen  what are they and should i be worried? i'm a 25 year old man .

Accepted Answer

Lipoma vs hernia: If the lumps are relatively small and nontender and on top of muscle layer may be lipomas (benign fatty tumors).  If made worse when you squeeze your abdomen could be hernias.  Hernias would change in size and generally softer than lipomas.

Question 3

i noticed two lumps in the lower left  part of the abdomen over a year ago. i'm 48 years old. i have started to feel dim pain. no other symptoms.?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: Lumps in the abdomen could be a hernia. See a doctor and have it examined to see if it is a hernia. Common sites of hernias are the belly button, the groin, and any prior incisions.

Question 4

lumps under skin on both sides of abdomen, what to do?

Accepted Answer

Well, most likely: the only way to obtain an accurate assessment will be via actual medical assessment. This will allow for visualization and palpation.

Question 5

after losing 45 lbs, i have tiny lumps under skin of my abdomen. they are fairly mobile, small, and there are dozens. are they accumulations of fat?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: These could be fat nodules or cysts. However it could be something else. Please see a dermatologist to have these evaluated.

Question 6

what organs are on the lower left side of my abdomen? when i lay down i can feel some lumps that feel like organs. doesnt hurt, im just concerned. i dont feel anything on my right side. i am also very skinny if that has anything to do with it?

Accepted Answer

Can give Dr a call: Lower abdomen has abdominal wall muscles, part of the large intestine (colon), ureters from the kidneys to the bladder, part of the small intestine, ovaries (lower down), etc...  In a college-aged person, lumps such as tumors are rare. A common cause of left lower abdominal lumps is a collection of poop due to constipation. If a person takes a laxative and poops out, maybe the lumps vanish.

Question 7

i'm 32 y.o. woman. the tiny lumps i feel on my abdomen am i just feeling fat? or can you feel intestinal nodes?

Accepted Answer

Lumps on abd: Unlikely to be lymph nodes as they are deeper, but may be lipomas, ( little fat tumors-benign) , fibromas, leiomyomas , or cysts or neurofibromas ( usually see them on the surface) or rarely tumors . Would follow up with  dermatology and possible imaging.

Question 8

what arw cause of lumps on forearms biceps and abdomen?

Accepted Answer

Probable Lipomas: You might be desscribing collections of fat cells that occur in lumps, bumps and clusters and are called lipomas or fat tumors.  These are benigh and usually of no concern.  Ocassionally one will be in the wrong place, get too big or be too unsightly so as to have to be surgically removed.  If in doublt, see pcp/dermatologist or other practicioner.

Question 9

3 pea sized hard lumps in abdomen, can feel them but can't see them....likely cancer?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say/depends,: It's hard to say what it could be without more information.  It depends on where the lumps are in the abdomen, how long they've been there, and what other history you've got, if any.  If you've got no diseases, and normal labs it's highly unlikely they're anything.  If you're still worried it's a good idea to see your doctor for an exam, tests, and possible referral.  Best of luck.

Question 10

have about 10 tiny hard lumps under skin across upper abdomen. not painful. what might this be?

Accepted Answer

Likely benign: Tiny lumps under the skin can be due to several things. If these don't move about under the skin when you push on them, they are probably skin cysts. IF they are deep in the skin and feel squishy, they may be noncancerous fatty growths called lipomas. If they move about under the skin and you think they are growing, then I suggest being seen to make sure that they are not lymph nodes.
