Your skin is more complex than you think it is. This is why some doctors are specifically trained to treat the skin, hair, nails, and body.

Dr. Tony Adar is a board-certified dermatologist, at Alabama Dermatology and Rejuvenation Center, in Jasper, Alabama, and provides a wide selection of services, including general, cosmetic, and medical dermatology treatments. This includes evaluating, diagnosing, and treating lumps and bumps on the skin.
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:
- Skin infections, such as cellulitis or abscesses
- Inflammatory skin conditions, like psoriasis or eczema
- Cysts or lipomas (benign growths)
- Tumors (may be benign or malignant)
Do not try to diagnose or treat these issues on your own; it is best to have a professional medical opinion. At our practice, Dr. Adar can also recommend the best treatment options for your specific situation, which may include the removal of these lumps and bumps whenever possible. With a thorough examination, he can suggest the best course of action in removing growths, skin tags, and other lumps and bumps. Take care of your skin, and remember to always seek medical advice if you notice any changes!
