Lipomas are the most common non-cancerous soft tissue growth/lump that form as a result of an overgrowth of fat tissues in a slim, fibrous capsule located beneath the skin. Lipomas are usually very small, soft to the touch, and shaped like a dome.
Being overweight does not cause lipoma, in fact; a minor injury may trigger its growth. Lipomas (also known as lipomata) are fairly common. About 1% of all people will develop a lipoma.
What actually causes lipomas is not completely understood, however there may be tendency to develop them as a result of an inherited faulty gene.
There is no known treatment to prevent lipomas or affect their growth, and usually, they do not need to be removed. But sometimes you or even your physician may want the lipoma taken off.
This could be because it: affects body function or movement, is increasing in size, drains foul-smelling discharge, becomes inflamed or infected continually, and others.
You only need a small operation under local anesthetic to have a lipoma removed. At Southwest Urgent Care, we pride ourselves in offering you this surgical procedure, and our healthcare professionals are specially trained in Lypoma removal surgery.
