Dear Doctor, I am experiencing multiple lipomas across my body, including visible lumps and smaller ones under the skin. These are especially noticeable in a line along my back and around my nipples. Recently, I’ve also observed an increase in small lumps throughout my body. I would like your advice on diagnosis
Dear Arun ji,
Lipomas are soft, non-cancerous fatty lumps under the skin. Though usually harmless, multiple or growing lipomas should be evaluated to rule out rare conditions like familial multiple lipomatosis.
Diagnosis Steps
-
Start with a clinical exam by a surgeon or dermatologist
-
Tests may include ultrasound, FNAC, or biopsy for confirmation
When to Consider Treatment
-
Painful, growing, or numerous lipomas
-
Causing nerve pressure, posture issues, or visible discomfort
-
Cosmetic concerns affecting confidence
Treatment & Recovery
-
Surgical excision is the most effective and ensures full removal
-
Liposuction may be used for multiple small, superficial lipomas (slightly higher recurrence risk)
-
Usually day-care procedures with 2–5 days recovery
-
Stitches out in 5–10 days; minimal scarring with proper care
-
Follow-up ensures healing and checks recurrence
