    Skin bumps, also known as skin lumps or nodules, are raised areas on the skin that can vary in size, shape, and color. They can be caused by a variety of factors, including infections, allergic reactions, benign growths like cysts or lipomas, and more serious conditions such as skin cancer. Identifying the underlying cause often requires a clinical examination and sometimes additional diagnostic tests.
