Lumps: These are either small fatty tumors (lipomas), or lymph nodes which are more dense and usually located near the center of the body (i.e., neck/armpits). Other skin associated lumps (cysts, nodules) are usually more visible externally. Usually these are benign but if growing or concerning to you, should be checked.
