Is It a Tumor or Cyst? Differences Between Tumors & Cysts, & Cancer Concerns | SERO

You notice a new bump below the skin. Is it a tumor? Is it a cyst? Is it cancerous?

If the bump is soft in consistency and skin-colored, it may be a cyst, which is a sac-like pocket of tissue. Ninety percent (90%) of cysts are benign. But you should seek medical attention if the cyst ruptures, bleeds, oozes, grows quickly, or swells.

If the bump is hard in consistency, it may be a tumor, which is an abnormal build-up of cells. Tumors can be benign, premalignant, or malignant. Meaning, your tumor may be harmless, show potential for cancer, or be cancerous. The only way to characterize the tumor is to get a formal diagnosis from a doctor.

For total peace of mind, see a doctor to determine if your new bump is a cyst or tumor.
