Lumps: Lipomas are not usually pigmented. Do they itch, are they painful, or any other symptom associated?

Unsure: Unfortunately, it requires a physical exam to accurately diagnose the lesions or decide if additional testing necessary. If you are not comfortable with the presumptive diagnosis, you should request a biopsy, second opinion, referral to a surgeon, or referral to a dermatologist.
