A member asked:
Moveable lipoma 1cm, over left side of the last rib down, no pain, swollen, or reddish, only when i touch i feel discomfort, any worries about it ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lipoma: If truly a lipoma (fatty tissue tumor), they are benign and should cause no harm. If the lipoma grows and starts to become irritating or painful etc. Than see a dr. And discuss getting it surgically excised. Best wishes.
