General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

It is not a cancer for 99%. So do not be afraid of it. Please note that cancer usually does not hurt at all (especially skin cancer).
This lumps are most likely benign skin lesions like sebaceus cysts or lipomas. Varicose veins should be also considered.
I suggest you to consult a surgeon. In case of doubts, soft tissues ultrasound (or Dopplers ultrasound if varicose veins seems possible) should be done.
Lumps can be removed with small incision.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
