A member asked:
I have a small mass on hip (like lipoma). but i don't know is it lipoma or not? how can i confirm is it lipoma? i removed like that in last 3 months.

See a Physician: An exam by a physician will help determine if it is a lipoma based on clinical exam ultimately, only excision will show if it is a lipoma or not.
