Accepted Answer

Most likely lipomas: Lipomas are varying sized fatty benign tumors that are under the skin & mobile as well as being painless.  They are pretty common. These lumps could also be cysts.  If they are not painful & not growing in size, you can discuss them with your doctor at your next appointment or go earlier if they are enlarging or painful.  There are a list of other possibilities but they rank lower down on the list.

Lumps: Usually no cause for concern, especially if on both sides. Probably fatty tumors.

Question 9

what is fatty tissue supposed to feel like? i can feel lots of small "fat" lumps underneath my skin in particularly fatty areas when i press down.

Accepted Answer

Lipoma: These subcutaneous lumps may be lipomata which are benign growths of fatty tissue. To be sure,however, a physician would have to examine you.

Question 10

i have several small lumps all over my body. i have been told by 2 docs that it's fat deposit but find new ones and am not sure. what do i look for?

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.
