Can I treat skin lumps and bumps myself?

In general, we do not recommend treating skin lumps or bumps at home, as incorrect treatment can lead to complications like infection and scarring. 

Rarely, a lump/bump can be a sign of something serious, such as skin cancer, and delaying treatment can be dangerous. 

To ensure an accurate diagnosis and the right treatment, make an appointment with a dermatologist.
