You become aware of a few tiny bumps on your skin. These bumps come in a wide variety of sizes, hues, and textures. The good news is that the majority of these bumps are safe.  More of them might be simple to identify as acne, while others might require some investigation and a doctor to determine what they are. These might occasionally be an indication of something a little bit more worrisome.

Who is affected by bumps?

Babies, toddlers, kids, and teenagers are often more likely to develop keratosis pilaris, and the condition frequently gets worse around puberty.

 

If someone in your family has keratosis pilaris, your chances of developing it are higher. As a result, medical professionals and academics think specific hereditary characteristics may be to blame.

 

Acne cystic pimples

Cystic acne develops very deeply beneath the skin’s surface, leaving a red, tender nodule.  Most of the time it is uncomfortable and considerably more difficult to treat with over-the-counter medications.

Ingrown hairs

Most of us have at some point, as a result of hair removal, had an ingrown hair on our bodies or faces. Hair typically grows up and above the skin when it regrows. However, if it begins to coil instead, it can become entrapped and develop a little, raised, crimson lump.

 

Swollen pimples

When a painful bump appears on your face, sometimes with a large white head and perhaps a crimson circle around it, you know you have one of them. These develop when the bacteria in our pores begin to interact with the excessive accumulation of oil. The dead skin cells lead to acne. Acne that is inflamed is frequently red, uncomfortable, swollen, and occasionally pus-filled.

Body tags

These benign skin growths, which are often oval, attach to the skin on your body or face by a stalk. They generally appear on the neck, upper chest, eyelids, groin, and underarms, and feel soft to the touch.
