Could be lipoma which is a slow-growing, fatty tumor situated between the skin and the muscle layer that moves readily with pressure. Lipomas often occur in the neck, shoulders, back, arms and thighs. They could be several and persists for years and can occur at any age. A lipoma is usually harmless. Treatment is not needed unless it is painful or is growing and
surgicalresection is indicated. Recurrences are not common. Steroid injection and
liposuction are other alternatives for removal. It is best that you discuss this with your doctor for proper evaluation and management.
