Suggest Treatment For Lipoma On Armpit In Infants
My one month old grandson was just diagnosed with lipoma...should we be worried? What causes this and will it get worse? It is on his back by his armpit and my daughter just noticed it while bathing him...does this appear all of a sudden? Thank you for your time

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Is it diagnosed as lipoma by a doctor or you yourself consider it to be a lipoma. Lipoma do not appear suddenly. It might be possible that you would have noticed it late because it is small. Usually, lipoma on back of the neck or scapular area is nothing to worry.
A swelling inside the armpit might be a lymph node. It is better to get it checked from doctor to confirm if it is lipoma or anything else.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Khan Shoeb Mohammad Sher Mohammad
