Dermatologist : Lipomas feel soft and may move slightly under the skin when people press down on them. They usually grow slowly over a period of months or years. Some people inherit a faulty gene from their parents that can cause one or more lipomas. This is rare and is known as familial multiple lipomatosis. I would advice to see a dermatologist to be completely sure.
