I have a lipoma. There is no pain as such. Is it normal?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

In my right upper arm, I have a lipoma which grows slowly from three years. Now, I have two new lipomas in the same upper arm. There is no pain as such. Is it normal?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Firstly I want to ask you whether the diagnosis of lipoma was made by a doctor. Because swellings may be of several types.

My advice is to visit a surgeon for an examination in person. The doctor will be able to tell you the best whether you need a biopsy or excision of the lesion or whether no active management is needed.

It is difficult to comment without examination. Hope this helps.
