If you are worried about Skin Ulcers, Skin Growths and Sores on Skin or Hard lumps under the skin, you have come to the right place. It is important to find out the underlying cause even if it’s not painful. Skin ulcers can develop because of skin cancers, infections or inflammation. Sores and hard bumps under the skin can be caused by skin cancers such as actinic keratosis or squamous cell carcinoma. Skin ulcers may be a sign of Basal Cell Carcinoma.
Not everything is skin cancer though- Leukemia, scabies, burns and frostbites also cause sores on skin. Skin growths can be caused by benign lesions such as skin tags. Sores on skin are also common among people suffering from diabetes, lupus and hypertension, or as a side effect of a certain drug or medication. These are obviously not all cancerous.
