Specializes in Pediatrics

Lipomas?: Any mass under the skin should be examined by a doctor. If you have already been diagnosed by a dr with lipomas, then the pain and splitting is a new and concerning symptom that may require surgery. Consult a Dermatologist to determine if any of these needs to be removed.
