I have lumps under my skin on my legs and arms. They do not go away and some are the size of a nickel.?


Question:
Is this happening to anyone else? I've had some tested and they were fine but I keep getting them. The doctors don't seem to think its a big deal but I worry and I'm wondering what I can do to get rid of them. Some thought too much caffine so I stopped drinking pop but it did not help. Any suggestions on how to make them disapear? or what they are? or how they are caused? Thank you for your help!!!!

Answers:
Could it be lipoma - a fatty deposit under the skin?

I have a friend who gets them, and her mother does, too. Many people have them removed for cosmetic reasons. However, if the capsule of the lipoma is not completely removed during the surgery, it may grow back.

Hope this helps!
