General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history of small painless lumps on the hand and foot of your child.
The one on the hand is flattened.
but the mark is still there, have been to GP who refers to Skin Specialist.
I think these must be sebaceous cysts, although uncommon can occur.
I would advise you the following:
Get high resolution ultrasonography so that the exact nature of the lumps can be known.
Since these are not the normal parts of the body insist on removal for the reasons of getting rid of the lumps as well as to get the histopathological diagnosis to make sure what these are.
I find this answer helpful
