Homonym: Lumps (Bumps)
Lumps are small, raised areas on the surface of the skin or within the body that can vary in size and texture. They can be caused by various factors, including inflammation, infection, or the accumulation of fluid. Common types of lumps include cysts, lipomas, and swollen lymph nodes.
While many lumps are harmless, some may indicate underlying health issues. It's important to monitor any changes in size, shape, or color. If a lump is painful or persists, consulting a healthcare professional is advisable for proper evaluation and treatment.
