Yes I get them I have one on my hand , I have had them on my soles of my feet , they are cysts , some say calcium, mine usually go away by themselves, I am massaging the one on my hand .However I still think that an Xray or test is a good thing .to put your mind at rest , the lumps I get are small and firm ..
