Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

It seems that your husband might have either lipoma or fibroma. You do not worry both are benign swellings. He has gone to consult doctor. Let the diagnosis be done. If one of above conditions is there, it may be removed under local anaesthesia. It is not major surgery. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
