Doctor explains LIPOMA | Symptoms, clinical photos and treatment

In this video, Dr. O'Donovan explains LIPOMAS including real life clinical photos. What is a lipoma? A lipoma is a lump of fatty tissue that grows just under the skin. Lipomas move easily when you touch them and feel rubbery, not hard. Most lipomas aren’t painful and don't cause health problems so they rarely need treatment. What are some characteristics of a lipoma? Encapsulated: They don’t spread to the tissues surrounding them. Painless: However, some lipomas cause pain and discomfort depending on their location, size and if blood vessels are present. Round or oval-shaped: The fatty lumps of rubbery tissue are usually symmetrical. Moveable: They sit just beneath the skin’s surface and move when you touch them. Smaller than 2 inches in diameter: In a few cases, lipomas can be larger than 6 inches wide. When to see your doctor: 1. If you have a skin growth, lump or knot under your skin, see your health provider It’s essential to get evaluated and whilst rare, rule out any serious conditions. 2. If you have a known lipoma, see your provider if you notice any changes, such as sudden pain. 3. Call your provider if it’s growing rapidly (over weeks), feels hard or doesn’t move as easily when you touch it.
