Lipomas are lumps of fat under the skin. They are really common and can be anywhere on the body. They usually show up as a soft lump under the skin that has been there for many years. They are almost always painless and the skin on top of them is normal. They can be single or you can have many of theme. They grow very slowly, but always grow and can become huge. We have removed them up to 20 cm long!
We always recommend if you are not sure, or they are painful or if they are new and growing quickly that you consult your Family MD.
