What threat does a lump under the skin pose? Lumps under the skin.

Tripping, beautiful posture, wellness- all this can be ruined by a seemingly ordinary bump on the leg under the skin. Its appearance often indicates the beginning of the development of a disease in the body. Checking this tumor and eliminating its cause gives a chance to prevent the disease and maintain health.

Lump on feet

Lumps under the skin on the legs are a common occurrence. Their appearance initially does not cause concern to humans. Only a rapid increase in size of the lump, redness, severe pain, and an unaesthetic appearance of the legs make you come to see a doctor.

Such neoplasms can be different in size, origin, location on the legs, appearance. There are multiple and single, soft and hard, causing pain and painless, ulcerative and inflamed, malignant and benign.

Often some of their types are neglected treatment flow into serious complications: inflammation, suppuration, acquisition of a malignant nature.

Common types of cones

There are many diseases that lead to the formation of a subcutaneous lump. Let's name the most common ones.

A disease that develops due to metabolic disorders, metabolism and hormonal levels. With it, uric acid salts begin to rapidly deposit in the joints. Pain and swelling appear, redness near the joint affected by the pathology, shine of the skin, temperature rises, and weakness is present. When gout progresses to chronic stage Red bumps (tophi) form under the skin, which soften slightly during attacks. They can appear in any part of the body, including the hands.

Bursitis

This is the development of inflammation in the synovial joint sacs. There are acute and chronic form. The first is the result of an injury in the area of the periarticular bursa, and may also be a consequence of previous influenza, furunculosis, or osteomyelitis. The knees are affected, elbow joints, less often hip. A soft elastic ball forms under the skin in the area of the affected joint. He constantly hurts and his temperature rises. If you do not consult a doctor in a timely manner, the disease will progress and become chronic.

It develops when neglected acute form, regular exposure to the periarticular bursa. Pathology does not lead to impairment motor function, but causes some of its limitations. Neglect of treatment leads to the fact that such a “ball” hurts, forms a long-term non-healing hole under the skin in the form of a fistula, and arthritis develops.

Varicose veins

Varicose veins are an increase in the volume of veins located close to the surface of the skin. The disease most often manifests itself on the legs, but its manifestation on the walls of the esophagus, rectum and Bladder, vagina, hands. Pathology provokes the development of inflammation in the veins. They gradually harden and form aneurysm-like local expansions - red nodes or bumps.

The main signs of varicose veins are:

swelling of the ankles and legs;
the appearance of a venous subcutaneous network;
formation of ulcers, calluses;
development of eczema, pigmentation on the lower legs and ankles;
edema.

The causative factors of the disease are considered to be: age-related transformation of the walls of veins, sedentary lifestyle life, prolonged sitting, pregnancy, posture defects.

Valgus deformity

If a lump appears on the thumb with curvature of this finger and the middle one, this is. It externally represents a rounded ball from the inside of the foot. The lump is hard, constantly hurts, there is redness and swelling. The root cause of the appearance is weak tendons, endocrine disorders, osteoporosis, arthrosis, flat feet, uncomfortable shoes.

Subcutaneous cyst

This is a benign cavity tumor filled with pus or fluid. It can form not only on the legs, but also on the arms. The lump feels like medium density small ball. It is formed due to infection, closure of the sebaceous glands, or the entry of a foreign body. Possesses the following symptoms: does not hurt, increases slowly, moves slightly to the side when pressed.

Harmless red, round growths that form subcutaneously on the legs and arms. Exact reasons her appearances are unknown. Their main features are:

purple, brown, or red growths;
their diameter varies in the range of 0.3-0.6 cm;
V in rare cases cause itching, burning and pain.

Lipomas

These neoplasms are red balls formed from soft subcutaneous tissue. To the touch lipomas are elastic and soft buds. They grow slowly and are not harmful to health. Both single and group cones appear. The size of most is within 5 cm, they do not cause discomfort and discomfort. Pain occurs only when lipomas press on nerve endings.

Enlarged lymph nodes

Not big size ball (up to 0.5 cm), located on back side feet or soles. When palpated, the lymph nodes are dense and hot. The formation of such a “tubercle” is combined with infectious symptoms: general weakness, temperature.

If subcutaneous lumps appear on your leg, you should immediately consult a doctor. Timely diagnosis is the key to successful treatment and preventing the development of complications.

How is the treatment carried out?

A therapist, rheumatologist, dermatologist, oncologist, and infectious disease specialist will help you cope with the pathology. After studying all the obtained tests, a accurate diagnosis and the causative factor is determined.

Each type of lump has its own treatment method.

If the appearance of a lump is a consequence of the transition of gout to the chronic stage, then treatment consists of preventing attacks, relieving pain and swelling. Drugs that reduce uric acid levels, decongestants, painkillers, and anti-inflammatory drugs are used. Additionally, the patient is advised to comply special diet and a course of physiotherapy.
When a lump forms as a result of bursitis progression, the synovial sac is washed and injected with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory agents. Physiotherapy is carried out, compresses and contrast lotions are prescribed. The patient is required to comply with hygienic requirements, restriction motor activity. The advanced stage of bursitis is not amenable to drug treatment. The patient undergoes surgery.
If a lump on the leg under the skin has formed due to the progression of varicose veins, treatment is carried out using non-surgical methods: sclerotherapy, laser, medication. Treatment of damaged veins by surgical excision is carried out in severe forms of the disease.
When a lump appears hallux valgus deformity Doctors recommend regular wearing of special shoes and insoles. Anti-inflammatory non-steroidal and corticosteroid (rare) drugs are prescribed. But to completely eliminate the “ball”, surgery will be required.
If the subcutaneous “ball” is a cyst, then treatment is prescribed in extreme cases. It usually resolves on its own over time. If the cyst is inflamed and its growth progresses, a therapeutic course is carried out followed by surgical removal.
The dermatofibroma lump does not require removal, but if the patient wishes, it can be removed surgically. To reduce its size and make it flat, cryotherapy is used - freezing with liquid nitrogen.
A lipoma ball does not require surgical treatment, since adjacent tissues are not damaged. Its removal is carried out only at the request of the patient or in the case when it is visible cosmetic defect.
The formation of a lump due to inflammation of the lymph nodes is treated with anti-inflammatory drugs. To avoid further development of inflammation, heating and warming compresses should not be used!

Any of the bumps that appear on the leg cannot be ignored. Even if it does not bother you, you still need to see a doctor.

You should be careful about your health. The appearance of any type of compaction is a powerful argument in favor of visiting a specialist.

Sometimes you may see a lump or hard lump under the skin. Most are harmless, but some can be painful and irritating. These bumps can appear on any part of the body.

Most lumps are harmless and are not a cause for concern. However, in rare cases it may be necessary additional diagnostics. This happens when cancerous tumors. Benign balls under the skin have the following signs:

the compaction grows slowly and not painfully;
soft consistency;
located in the superficial or fatty layer of the skin:
mobile, it can be felt.

On an arm or leg

Most lumps and bumps under the skin are harmless and go away without treatment. But for correct setting diagnosis and elimination of the main causes of their occurrence, you need to consult a doctor as soon as possible.

A dense ball on an arm or leg is most often a lipoma (fat), fibroma or cyst.

Lipoma– a relatively soft lump consisting of fatty tissue that grows slowly.

Fibrolipoma or fibrous lipoma is formed from fatty and connective tissue simultaneously. The lower the percentage of fat in it, the harder it is.

Fibroma on the toe and sole of the foot

Fibroma– a hard, small subcutaneous lump consisting of connective fibrous tissue.

These are all safe formations that gradually grow slowly.

Cyst is a sac under the skin filled with fluid (usually pus). Its main difference from lipoma and fibroma is that they are located deep under the skin, and the cyst is closer to the surface. All these seals usually do not require mandatory treatment, but sometimes require surgery to remove them.

A lipoma, fibroma or cyst can appear on other parts of the body. In addition to the arms and legs, they often form on the back or chest.

On the face

Reasons for the appearance of lumps on the face that are not related to injury are most likely to be:

Pig ( parotitis) – viral infection, mainly affecting children. Lumps will be associated with inflammation of the lymph nodes of the lower part of the face;
Allergic reaction – causes swelling in the deep layers of the skin;
A tooth abscess can lead to swelling in the jaw area.

Enlarged The lymph nodes with mumps (left) and facial swelling due to tooth infection (right)

In the groin, thighs and buttocks

The appearance of hard lumps in the vagina, on inside thighs and buttocks can be caused by the following factors:

inflamed inguinal lymph nodes, which is a sign of infection;
cyst - a harmless formation filled with fluid;
an abscess is a painful collection of pus;
genital warts - are sexually transmitted infections and are fleshy growths;
hanging moles or warts.

Hanging mole(A), abscess (B) and genital warts with HPV (C)

On the knuckle of a finger or wrist

A subcutaneous hard ball or lump on the wrist or finger joint is most often a hygroma, a type of cyst that forms around the joints and tendons.

Hygroma (synovyl cyst) is a fairly soft, smooth ball filled with a dense jelly-like liquid. The causes of its occurrence are unknown, but most often it is associated with aging or damage to joints and tendons.

Hygroma appears near the joints

If the hygroma does not cause pain or anxiety, you can leave it or treat it yourself, but to remove it, you need to visit a dermatologist. Although often after removal, the problem may return over time.

Small hard ball under the skin

A hard ball under the skin may turn out to be a fibrous lipoma - a mobile seal consisting of fat and connective tissue that grows. An ordinary lipoma (fat) consists only of adipose tissue, therefore it is softer. And fibrous is more dense due to connective tissue. Sizes vary from a pea to several centimeters in diameter. Lipomas are safe.

If the ball turns out to be not a lipoma, then most likely it will be a cyst - a sac under the skin filled with pus. They are very similar, but important difference– the cyst will be closer to the surface and usually goes away without treatment.

Large flat lump under the skin

A large lump that appears under the skin causes concern for most people; many consider it a sign of cancer. To minimize complications, you need to undergo a series of tests that will help determine the cause of the appearance of such seals.

If the neoplasm turns out to be malignant, then a course of radiation and chemical therapy or surgery to remove cancerous tissue.

A hard, painful area under the skin

Trauma or infection may cause sudden appearance dense painful area. Moreover, during infection, the skin around the seal will be red and hot to the touch, and the injury is accompanied by swelling and hemorrhage. At improper treatment The wound can become infected and then redness and increased temperature will be added.

Hard balls under the skin due to ingrown hairs

Under certain conditions, not all of the hair is shaved off; part of it remains under the skin and cannot break through, so it bends and grows inside the hair follicle. This is how ingrown hairs appear, they cause inflammation, pain and form small hard balls in the area of shaving. Most often this is the back of the head and area. Sometimes an ingrown hair can become enlarged (cyst) after infection.

Ingrown hairs

Anyone who shaves, uses tweezers, or uses wax for hair removal may experience similar problems. Such “bumps” often go away on their own, but they can also sometimes be helped when the hair is very close to the surface.

The appearance of a dense ball on the skin after an insect bite

Bug or spider bites can also cause swelling and hard bumps on the skin. Most insects are harmless, but there are a few poisonous individuals whose stings penetrate deep into human skin and their venom is dangerous.

Signs of a poisonous spider bite:

severe pain that begins about an hour after the bite;
abdominal cramps (from a black widow bite);
heavy sweating;
swelling and fever in severe cases.

Pimples have turned into hard balls

Pimples are places where the skin becomes inflamed. They appear when dead skin cells, sebum and bacteria clog the pores, forming hard balls. Acne (acne) is a common problem among teenagers, but can appear at any other age. Bacteria multiply quickly under the skin and this leads to the appearance of new acne.

There are acne different types: pimples, papules, pustules, cysts or nodules, so there is no one way to treat acne. In severe cases of the disease, tablets and local treatment are prescribed.

If the acne is large, then laser and phototherapy, drainage and steroid injections are performed to reduce swelling.

Lump under the skin after vaccination

Vaccination – reliable way protection against infections that do not cause serious side effects. But some children develop various symptoms, such as:

fever within 2-3 days after vaccination;
redness at the injection site;
a dense area at the injection site (in this case, a cold compress will help);
a rash in the form of red dots may cover the child from head to toe, but it is harmless and will go away within a week;
in rare cases, the entire vaccination area may become red, swollen, and hot (pain reliever and hydrocortisone ointment will help).

Background: Two weeks ago, my 2.7-year-old son fell ill, the local doctor diagnosed him with an acute respiratory infection, and treated him with Biseptol. After being discharged, a red rash appeared on the child’s legs, followed by the formation of hard lumps, the doctor diagnosed an allergy, they gave him medication, and ruled out all possible allergens. Last Friday evening the temperature rose to 41 degrees. The ambulance took me to the hospital and they put me in the infectious diseases unit. The next morning the temperature dropped to normal and remained constant until yesterday...

yersiniosis. Is very similar. We once lay in the same room with a boy with such a disease (but he, unlike your child, could not be diagnosed for a long time). Yersiniosis is treated with antibiotics of a specific class. Long and tedious. Its other name is pseudotuberculosis. In our case, that sick boy ate unwashed parsley from his grandmother’s garden straight from the garden. Doctors said the pathogen can be transmitted from with dirty hands and unwashed vegetables.

Today I discovered on my right leg, just above the ankle, 2 lumps the size of a pea, centimeters apart. Hard, mobile, painless, they are not visible visually, only by touch... What could this be? Who has encountered this? Where to go? surgeon? Is ultrasound informative in such cases? Could this be somehow related to pregnancy()?

On my feet, it seems to me, bumps are starting to grow - on the inside of the foot (below that place, thumb on the foot). What is this called and what to do with it? Is this padagra? Thank you

My colleague’s mother did it in hospital 31. According to a regular policy, however, you needed a referral from a surgeon at your place of residence. Well, they also paid for self-absorbing screws or knitting needles. Everything is tolerable....I didn’t climb the wall.

...Still want to wear stilettos? Then think about the aesthetic consequences. A pregnant woman’s center of gravity is already shifted forward, and standing on heels makes the situation worse. This in turn causes even greater protrusion and sagging of the abdomen. Due to excessive stretching of the skin, stretch marks are guaranteed. Every month there are more and more blue and pale purple veins on the legs. The process is natural: weight increases, and accordingly, the load on the muscles and blood vessels of the legs increases, and the risk of developing varicose veins increases. If you had signs of this disease before pregnancy, then high heels will only worsen the problem. Leg fatigue will increase, the risk of dislocations will increase, and swelling will appear or worsen.

They also last a lifetime and are usually no hassle. You should consult your doctor if they begin to change shape or grow. Red birthmarks sometimes appear in newborns on the forehead, sides of the nose, eyelids, lips or on the back of the head. Their reason is expansion small vessels at the moment of birth of the baby.

I sympathize and understand you very much. Ours also didn’t pick up anything on the street, he just sniffed it. And April 13th became a black day. The puppy was 11 months old (((. This is definitely poison! And regarding the bump on Martin’s leg, it appeared after he bitten by a dog. And from a small ball it grew to the size of a chicken egg.

Looks like insect bites (mosquitoes, midges, or maybe a flea jumped off an animal), especially if pimples are visible only in open areas. It didn’t take us more than a week, although I lubricated it with Psilo-Balm, after it the itching was less and the swelling began to subside. And I also gave “Fenistil” in drops inside to enhance the effect.

I really need help or good advice! The dog is 11.5 years old, two months ago she had surgery on her leg, during the operation the doctor removed the wen, sent the analysis for histology, and later said that everything was fine.

Varicose veins: symptoms, treatment, prevention. Can a phlebologist help?

Prevention of varicose veins, or you can’t sit cross-legged. Advice from a phlebologist.

Produced either as a result of illness or after vaccination. Children whose mothers had chickenpox or were vaccinated against it are immune to chicken pox transmitted from the mother in utero and persists for the first 6-12 months of life.
