Could be: It very well could be a lipoma. If it is under the skin, soft or firm in consistency, painless with the edges that slip away from your fingers when you press on them - it is most likely a lipoma. It can easily be removed, especially if increasing in size.

Simple vs serious: Our bodies always have things that grow and change. Skin, fat, muscle, lymph nodes, bones, can change shape, get larger, more prominent due to many factors. The vast majority are not cancer but simply unusual growths like fatty tumors, cysts, skin tags, moles, etc. Most cause no symptoms and can be watched. If they cause symptoms or change colors, bleed, bruise or hurt, then see your doctor.
