It often feels soft, moves slightly when touched and grows slowly. Lipomas may appear on the neck, shoulders, back, arms or thighs. **Common presentations:** - Superficial lipoma: A soft lump just beneath the skin. - Multiple lipomas: Several fatty lumps in different areas. - Deep lipoma: A lump located deeper in the soft tissues. **Symptoms to watch for:** A soft lump under the skin, slow growth, pressure discomfort or tenderness if the lump presses on nearby structures. **Why not wait?** Most lipomas are harmless, but a new, growing, painful, firm or fixed lump should be assessed. Not every lump is a lipoma, and some may require imaging or a biopsy. Consult a qualified surgeon at Aayush Multispecialty Hospital, Panch Pakhdi, Thane West. Open 24 hours.

Many lipomas occur without a clear cause, and they can develop in adults of different ages. **What happens at the consultation?** The surgeon examines the lump and may recommend an ultrasound or other imaging if its nature is uncertain. Removal may be considered if the lump causes symptoms, grows or raises diagnostic concerns. **Related reading:** Lipoma vs Other Skin Lumps, What to Expect During Lipoma Removal, Recovery After Minor Surgery Aayush Multispecialty Hospital 1st Floor, Marigold Apartment, Almeda Road, Panch Pakhdi, Thane West 400602 Open 24 hours.
