Skin bump: bumps and lumps on the skin can be anything from benign cysts to malignant tumors. this is something that should be looked at and diagnosed by your doctor and a biopsy/excision should be performed if necessary. dont worry, this is most probably a cyst but be responsible about your health and get this taken care of.
