What is Lipoma?
A lipoma is a soft, slow-growing lump made of fat tissue that develops just under the skin. It is a benign (non-cancerous) condition and usually harmless.
Key Features:
- Soft and doughy to touch
- Moves easily under the skin
- Usually painless
- Common on neck, shoulders, back, arms, and thighs
- Grows slowly over time
👉 Lipomas are very common and typically don’t require treatment unless they cause discomfort or cosmetic concern.
What Causes Lipoma?
Exact causes are not always clear, but common factors include:
- Genetics (family history)
- Fat metabolism imbalance
- Minor injuries (in some cases)
- Lifestyle factors (sedentary habits, poor diet)
