Why do I have lumps and bumps on my skin?

Whether you have a painful lump under the skin or itchy red bumps on top, these issues may be concerning. It is important that you visit a dermatologist if you notice any changes in your skin, including growths and skin tags that may develop with time. There are many specific reasons why you may be seeing these changes. Some reasons for lumps and bumps on the skin include:
