For many years had pea size lipoma just above my tail bone. i have aged and the skin has changed. i noticed that i cannot feel the lipoma in that area. did it dissolve with age?

Cellular atrophy: It has not dissolved, but the lipoma cells may atrophy and become imperceptibly small. Probably not to worry!
