Lipoma Treatment
A lipoma is a soft, slow-growing, non-cancerous (benign) lump made up of fat tissue. It usually develops just under the skin and can appear on the neck, shoulders, back, arms, thighs, or abdomen.
Lipomas are generally harmless, but they may require removal if they cause discomfort or cosmetic concerns.
