Accepted Answer

Lipomas?: You may have one of the genes that gives you dozens of lipomas that pop up over your lifetime. One of my longtime friends has had over 100 excised and has filled several gallon jugs with them. He has a sense of humor and it helps -- ask your physician about this, and how and whether to get rid of them. The cancer risk is minimal if this is what you have. Best wishes.
