What is a Lipoma or a Skin Cyst?
A fatty lump (lipoma) is a soft, slow-growing lump of fat cells just under the skin. It usually feels rubbery, moves slightly when pressed and is usually not painful. Lipomas are very common and are usually harmless (benign).
A skin cyst (often called a sebaceous or epidermoid cyst) is a small sac under the skin filled with a thick, cheesy material. It may have a tiny dark opening on top and can become red, painful and swollen if it gets infected.
Many lumps do not need treatment, but they may be removed if they are growing, painful, infected, in an uncomfortable spot, or if the diagnosis needs to be confirmed. Your surgeon will examine the lump and advise whether removal is needed.

At a Glance
Fatty lump (lipoma)
Soft, rubbery and usually not painful. Commonly found on the shoulders, back, neck, arms and thighs.
Skin cyst (sebaceous / epidermoid cyst)
A small sac under the skin, often with a tiny opening on top. It can become infected and swollen.
How it is diagnosed
Usually by examination. Your doctor may advise an ultrasound or other tests if the lump is large, deep or unusual.
After removal
The removed tissue is usually sent to a laboratory (histopathology) to confirm what it is.
Why You Should Get a Lump Checked
Most lipomas and skin cysts are harmless, but a lump should still be examined by a doctor. Here is why.
Confirming the Diagnosis
Not every lump is a lipoma or cyst. A doctor can tell whether further tests are needed.
Lumps Can Grow
A lump that keeps growing may need a bigger cut to remove later, and may press on nearby tissues.
Cysts Can Get Infected
An infected cyst can become red, painful and filled with pus (an abscess) and may need drainage.
Discomfort in Daily Life
Lumps on the back, shoulder or waist can rub against clothes, bags or belts and cause discomfort.
An evaluation by a surgeon can tell you what your condition needs and what to do next.

Common Types of Skin Lumps
Lumps under the skin can look alike. A surgeon can usually tell them apart with an examination, and sometimes a scan.
Fatty Lump (Lipoma)
A soft lump under the skin that moves slightly when pressed, grows slowly and is usually not painful. Some people have more than one.
Skin Cyst (Sebaceous / Epidermoid)
A firm, round lump under the skin, sometimes with a small dark opening. It may release a thick, smelly material.
Infected Cyst
A cyst that becomes red, hot, swollen and painful, sometimes with pus. It needs medical attention.
Treatment Options
Depending on the type, size and location of the lump, your surgeon may recommend one of the following. Your surgeon will explain which option suits you.
This information is general. The right treatment for you can only be decided by your surgeon after examining you.

Your Step-by-Step Care Journey
The surgeon examines the lump and may advise a scan if it is large, deep or unusual, then explains whether removal is needed.
Our team shares a cost estimate and checks your insurance coverage, with cashless admission guidance where applicable.
The lump is removed under anaesthesia. Whether local or general anaesthesia is used depends on the size and location of the lump.
You will be guided on wound care and stitch removal. The lab report of the removed tissue is reviewed at follow-up.

Talk to Our Care TeamFrequently Asked Questions
General answers to common questions. Your surgeon will advise on your specific lump.
No. Many lumps under the skin are lipomas or cysts, which are usually harmless, but other conditions can look similar. A lump that is growing quickly, is hard, painful or fixed in place should be checked by a doctor without delay.
Not always. Small lipomas that are not painful or changing are often left alone. Removal may be advised if the lump is growing, painful, in an uncomfortable spot, or if the diagnosis needs to be confirmed. Your surgeon will advise you.
The cost depends on the size, number and location of the lumps, the type of anaesthesia and your insurance cover. Share your details and our team will call you back within 30 minutes with a free cost estimate.
Coverage depends on your policy and whether the procedure is medically necessary - our team checks this for you. Vasavi Hospitals accepts all insurance and provides cashless admission guidance where applicable.
Many small lumps are removed under local anaesthesia. Larger, deeper or multiple lumps may need regional or general anaesthesia. Your surgeon and anaesthetist will decide what is suitable for you.
It is uncommon when the lump is removed completely, but it can happen. A cyst is more likely to return if part of its wall is left behind. New lipomas can also appear in other places.
No, it is better not to. Squeezing a cyst can push the contents deeper, cause infection and make later removal more difficult. See a doctor if a cyst is bothering you.
