Question 1

44yr old woman has 4 or 5 small lumps on back had them last few yrs don't hurt haven't changed but have increased should they be checked?

Accepted Answer

Yes: These lumps sound like something benign like lipomas which are benign fatty tumors perhaps. However, if they are definitely changing and therefore not stable then they should be checked by your doctor!

Question 2

hi there, i have a few small lumps on the inside of my cheeks and am wondering what they might be. i have 2 on the right side and 1 on the left. all a?

Accepted Answer

Lumps: There are literally hundreds of possible causes for "lumps," most benign.  You have to be examined to be diagnosed.  Please call your Dentist.

Question 3

i have serval small lumps on my spine that move about ?

Accepted Answer

Most likely lipomas: Lipomas are varying sized fatty benign tumors that are under the skin & mobile as well as being painless.  They are pretty common. These lumps could also be cysts.  If they are not painful & not growing in size, you can discuss them with your doctor at your next appointment or go earlier if they are enlarging or painful.  There are a list of other possibilities but they rank lower down on the list.

Question 4

i have two small lumps right side of my neck what are they?

Accepted Answer

Let me explain: Those lumps could be simple to infection around the area, or could be sign of more serious disease the thing is to check out.

Question 5

i have two small moveable lumps in the dimples of my lower back. i have had them for over a year and no growth. should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Lumps: Usually no cause for concern, especially if on both sides. Probably fatty tumors.

Question 6

what is fatty tissue supposed to feel like? i can feel lots of small "fat" lumps underneath my skin in particularly fatty areas when i press down.

Accepted Answer

Lipoma: These subcutaneous lumps may be lipomata which are benign growths of fatty tissue. To be sure,however, a physician would have to examine you.

Question 7

i have several small lumps all over my body. i have been told by 2 docs that it's fat deposit but find new ones and am not sure. what do i look for?

Accepted Answer

Lipomas?: You may have one of the genes that gives you dozens of lipomas that pop up over your lifetime. One of my longtime friends has had over 100 excised and has filled several gallon jugs with them. He has a sense of humor and it helps -- ask your physician about this, and how and whether to get rid of them. The cancer risk is minimal if this is what you have. Best wishes.

Question 8

i have two small lumps on my lower back one on each side they hurt sometimes and move around when rubbed what could they be? they are very irritating

Accepted Answer

Lipoma : More likely than not they are lipomas or cysts. Unlikely to be cancerous but if they continue to enlarge or become more painful you should consult with your physician. Good luck.

Question 9

i have 2 small lumps on each side of my lowerback dimples, not visible(only feeling), not painful, & sorta movable.what can it be? is it an emergency?

Accepted Answer

Most likely: it is a lipoma but it could be also a cyst. It does not sound like cancer. If it gets bigger or become painful see your doctor.

Question 10

hi, i am experiencing extreme anal itch and anal sores/small lumps internally. its mostly itchy at night time. ?

Accepted Answer

Pruritus ani: could be pruritus ani, but suggest being checked by your gp or dermatologist. There are good techniques including sitz baths and diets to use in order to lessen the problem as well as topical  meds to help. First make sure the dx is confirmed.
