When To Worry About A Lump Under Your Skin

When should you worry about a lump under your skin — and when is it harmless?

A lump under the skin is often benign, such as a lipoma, cyst, or swollen lymph node. In this episode, we explain how doctors assess subcutaneous lumps, which features suggest a non-serious cause, and when urgent evaluation is needed in Europe.

You’ll learn:

• Common benign causes: lipomas (fatty lumps), epidermoid cysts, enlarged lymph nodes

• How to assess size, texture, mobility, tenderness, and growth rate

• Signs of infection: redness, warmth, pain, or pus formation

• Red flag features: rapid growth, hard or fixed mass, unexplained weight loss, night sweats

• When ultrasound, biopsy, or referral may be recommended after medical review

• Differences between soft tissue tumours and superficial skin lesions

• Situations where treatment or removal requests may be declined pending proper imaging or examination

We also discuss monitoring changes over time and when follow-up is appropriate.

This episode complements our full clinical guide:
