What Is The Cause Of Hard Bumps?

Like the 20 year old guy below, I also have a small, hard bump more than a lump on my collarbone. It is more like below the skin and I can grab it. It does not hurt. I'm curious because I found another similar small bump on my right shin. I'm 51 and very healthy. What are these hard bumps?

Hi. My opinion is that any lump should be investigated. It could be a lipoma but these are usually soft and benign, but we need to exclude other aggressive tumours. A biopsy will give a definite diagnosis. I suggest you see a doctor who can assess and advise further. I wish you good health.
