Question: Hi,

I have lipoma problem. Around 10 lipomas exist on my body.
I rarely feel pain with certain tumors.
When i need to consider removal for lipoma, does rare pain is not an issue ?

Also i have small one near to my chest, does this need any attention or can be ignored ?

Thanks,

Brief Answer:
Lipomas are one of the most common and totally benign growth in our body.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome and thanks for posting your query to the forum.

I can understand your concern for lipomas on yourself.

After analyzing your query with diligence let me reassure you first that you do not require any immediate attention on the lipomas.

It is on the basis of the fact that these are one of the most common and totally benign growth in our body. In your case these are around ten in number. In most of the cases even up to thirty to 40 lipomas are considered to be normal. Your is quite lower than that.

We require attention on the lipomas in case if these are suddenly enlarging or if becomes very painful or causing any severe compression then one can go for its removal. Rare pain is never an issue and can be very well ignored.

I hope these information will help you. I will be glad to reply any further queries.

With regards,
