Is lipoma harmless on your body regardless of its size?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sometimes: The vast majority of lipomas(fatty tumors) are benign and are harmless, however they can sometimes get very large and unsightly, they can also cause discomfort related to any pressure they put on local structures.
