Having lump on back of the shoulder & no pain.checked with dermatologist told it could be cholesterol lump.is it anything 2 b concerned?

Yes: That would be extremely unusual and would suggest that you inherited a familial and severe form of elevated cholesterol. It's easily checked: just ask for a blood sample to check your cholesterol. If it's not crazy, off the wall, you're okay! (it it is, start treatment!).
