What Causes A Recurrent Lump On The Waistline?
I sometimes get a lump or two on my waistline. They don t hurt if I leave them alone. They are the same color as my skin. About the size of a dime or sometimes a nickel. I have squeezed them until it bursts and a clear oily liquid comes out. They seem to randomly appear, then go away. Can you tell me what it is?

They commonly occur in the Neck , Shoulders, back , abdomen , arms and thighs
Soft and doughy to touch They can move easily with slight finger pressure
Generally small in size but can grow
Lipomas can be painful if they grow and pressure the nerves nearby or if they contain blood vessels
