"A lipoma is typically not tender and moves around easily with slight pressure.
"A lipoma is not cancerous and treatment generally is not necessary.
"There is also a condition called familial lipomatosus, where people develop multiple lipomas, especially on the arms and legs, and other family members have these growths as well.
"If the lipoma is on a pressure-bearing area, it may create discomfort and this is when people seek removal.
"People also request removal because they don't like the appearance of these bumps.
"Often a small incision can be made over the lipoma and they can be "popped" out easily.
"This is a simple in-office surgical procedure under local anesthesia.
