Suggest Treatment For Lipomas In The Armpit
Question: I have little lumps under my skin, between the skin and the muscle. They are all extremely small and felt around armpits, in arms, back of legs etc.
Brief Answer:
Seems to be lipoma, go for FNAC test
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at HealthcareMagic
According to your complaints it seems to be lipomas.
These are benign tumors of the fat cells.
I would recommend you to go for FNAC ( fine needle aspiration cytology) test of any lump to confirm it.
They won't go away with oral and topical medicines.
If the diagnosis of lipoma is confirmed you can leave them as such as they are benign and harmless.
Regards
Dr Asmeet

There is a bunch of them. So these cannot be lymph nodes? They are able to be felt in my breasts as well.
Brief Answer:
I don't think these are lymph nodes
Detailed Answer:
I don't think they are lymph nodes.
You can get the FNAC test done from one of the lump to see what it is.
Alternatively you can go for excision biopsy of a single lump.
This will help in confirming the diagnosis.
