Unknown bumps on back/shoulders

[SC1089]

I have these red bumps on my back that kind of feel like a blister, like with the loose skin and all. There pretty big, if you rub your hand against my shirt it almost feels like a little ball. I have no pain or itchyness with them. But I also have no idea what they are! It started out with a dot hat ended up on my chest/breast and never went away. They all look like scars by the way they developed, any ideas? I've never gone to the doctor cause I saw no concern with them.

Any idea how to get rid of these things? =(

Hi

In the absence of redness, pain and itching, comedones, lipoma and keloids may be differentials here. This may not be an infectious process and their presence has not caused much discomfort. If there are several bumps present, then you may need to have this assessed. Lipoma may present as doughy, movable bumps on the skin which slips underneath the skin when you palpate it. This may cause pain when it is infected. There may be several lipomas in other parts of the body at one time. They may not need further intervention. In your case, surgical excision may be an option if the lumps present with redness, pain and discharge, If not, then manipulating this may only cause further problems.
