Are multiple lipomas without any symptoms concerning?

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

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am a 20 year old male, healthy and active all my life. I have multiple lipomas that do not bother me except for their appearance and having to explain to people what these bumps on my body are whenever I take my shirt off. Doctors say all I can do is have them surgically removed, but that would lead to many scars. Frankly it does not bother me that much to undergo an elective surgery. What advice would a chiropractor give for my condition?

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

The lipomas are cosmetic issues and can be unsightly especially if numerous or located at certain places. You have to decide whether surgery is needed for lipoma or not as scars will replace bumps. No chiropractic technique will help. The only issue that you have to confirm with your doctor is whether this is a part of a syndrome or not.

I hope that you get your answer.

Please let me know if you need any help.

Thank you.
