What Causes Fat Nodules Development?

Hi, This is Apurva here.

I am 23 years old and my weight is 74kg. I am suffering from a problem, that i have Fat nodules developed within various parts of my body. It doesn't pain, but it feels like fat nodule accumulated in the shape of a marble. i have continued to various prescriptions but all have only been a costly prescription rather than any visible benefit. Please confirm me that these are not Tumour cells in growth as i have these at various parts of my body. please suggest something.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Yes, your concern is very true.
These are most likely multiple lipomas, very common in occurence, benign tumors of fatty tissue, provided their consistency is soft & are freely mobile there.
Get local examination done by your doctor once & if necessary FNAC - fine needle aspiration cytology.
Treatment for lipoma once confirmed is simple excision under local anaesthesia by a general surgeon.
Rest treatment is done accordingly.
Hope this information is useful for you.
Wish you healthy life.
Thanks. Regards.
