Knots on the skin

Knots on the skin are usually small, hard lumps that form just below the surface of the skin. They can be tender or painful to the touch, and may develop over time. Symptoms can vary, but can include raised bumps, redness, itching, or a burning sensation. Knots may be caused by a variety of conditions, such as an allergic reaction, infection, or an underlying medical condition. Treatment depends on the underlying cause, and may include topical creams, antibiotics, or other medications.
