Lipomas are noncancerous, fatty tissue growths that slowly develop under your skin.People of any age can develop a lipoma.Lipomas are very common.
They’re classified as benign growths, or tumors, of fatty tissue. This means a lipoma is not cancerous and is rarely harmful.
You should call a healthcare professional if you notice any changes in your skin. A lipoma can look very similar to a liposarcoma, a rare cancer.
The cause of lipomas is largely unknown.
There may be a genetic cause in people with multiple lipomas. Around 2 to 3 percent of people who develop a lipoma have a family history of the condition.
Some research suggests that lipomas may develop in an area where an injury has caused a significant impact.
A lipoma will generally:
-feel soft to the touch
-move easily if prodded with your finger
-be just under the skin
-be colorless
-grow slowly
