Hello,
Thanks for using health care magic for posting your query.
Lipomas are very easy to diagnose and can be identified easily by touching. However lipomas are never hard and if they are hard and firm then most likely they are not lipomas. Moreover lipomas generally do not increase in number rapidly. The best way to confirm the diagnosis is by taking a biopsy or FNAC of the lesion.
Hope I am able to help you,
Thanks and regards
Dr. Srikanth Reddy MD
