Hi Doc,
Since last 5 yrs, i have been developing lumps under my skin. Last 6 months they started paining. I consulted dermatologist and he told that these are because of excessive fat deposition.No medicine is effective in this, i have reduce fat content in my diet and with time they may get dissolve. I need a permanent solution as i am planing for my marriage in April.

Hi. What you are having are Lipomas. These are fat collections but not necessarily due to excessive body fat. They can also happen in thin or skinny people. Usually they do not require removal but some people get it removed by small surgery specially if they are large and painful or for cosmetic reasons. There is no other treatment or way to stop them from appearing. Take care.
