Lipomas are most commonly located in the neck, back, and shoulders, but
they can also occur on the stomach, thighs, and arms. The lipoma is only
painful if it grows into nerves underneath the skin.
You should call your doctor if you notice any changes in your skin.
Lipomas can look very similar to a cancerous condition called
liposarcoma.
Doctors can often diagnose a lipoma by performing a physical exam. It
feels soft and isn’t painful. Also, since it’s made up of fatty tissues,
the lipoma moves easily when touched.
