Why do small flesh-colored growths appear on the body?

The causes of small flesh-like growths on the body vary, and mainly include: 1. Dermatofibroma: Caused by factors such as heredity and viral infections, these appear as round or oval, firm rashes, mostly without subjective symptoms. 2. Sebaceous cyst: When the opening of a sebaceous gland becomes blocked, sebum accumulates and forms a cyst, presenting as a subcutaneous raised nodule. 3. Milia: Caused by genetic factors, skin inflammation, medications, or unhealthy lifestyle habits, these appear as small granular elevations on the skin. 4. Viral infection: Such as common warts and flat warts, caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, presenting as small flesh-like protrusions on the skin. 5. Skin aging: With age, the skin gradually loses elasticity and may develop small flesh-like growths. 6. Friction or irritation: Prolonged skin friction or irritation, such as from wearing tight clothing or jewelry, may also lead to the formation of small flesh-like growths.
