Brief Answer:
Get them removed

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX

Thanks for writing in

Lipoma is usually benign and does not cause pain

If it gets infected or if it causes pressure over nerve - it can cause pain

In this situation get the one causing pain removed

It can be done under local anesthesia if not very big

Hope this helps
Do write back in case of concern

Brief Answer:
Get an ultrasound done

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for your followup

Apparently can not stamp a diagnosis without examining a patient

Liopma is usually non cancerous except if it goes for sarcomatous changes

In any case either get it examined by a general surgeon or get an ultrasound done

Hope this clears your doubts

Brief Answer:
Principally can not comment without examination

Detailed Answer:
Hi

It is very difficult for me to diagnose the condition without examination. I would stress once again, to go for examination and investigations by an Surgeon for confirmation of the diagnosis and further treatment accordingly.

Hope all clear
Wishing you a healthy life ahead
