I have a couple of small, hard which i ll refer to spots . One on my shoulder , another on my cafe,and a third on my armwhich started out almost like a pimple but reverted buy getting hard and Sitting right under skin. First I had the one on led, then shoulder and now arm only one is raised and the others are like have balls under skin. There really is no color and they come and stay the same size. So I guess I was wondering if these could be syst,or cancer

Hi,
After reading your history it appears that you deeloped simple sebaceous cysts. This is common problem and we see so many of cases in normal population. So do not worry about it. You can take loratadine or levocetrizine or fexofenadine daily. You can apply gentamycin cream over the affected area. Stay away from hot and humid climate and wear cotton clothes. Do not worry any kind of swelling present on body is not always cancer. Still if you are worried then can meet a dermatologist to clear your doubt.
