Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history: Male/22 - bump as indicated in the photograph - not painful/tender - not very big - Doc said it to be a fatty tumor - needs a help...
Please give some additional information ...
Since when have you noticed this?
Any such/similar lumps at other areas of your body?
Since the picture does not show any markedly elevated lump, this can be a diffuse lipoma and can be confirmed by the following:
Clinical examination
Ultrasound and FNAC.
Lipoma is a benign lump, a collection of fat cells and hence stop worrying as it may not cause any problem at all.
I hope this answer helps you, please feel free t ask for further relevant queries if you feel that there is a gap of communication.

Brief Answer:
As detailed below.
Detailed Answer:
With the history of multiple lumps, these look to be multiple lipomas.
To elucidate more on these:
There is no medical treatment available in any XXXXXXX hence please do not try any medicines at all.
Cure is possible only by Surgical complete removal.
There are few principles in lipomas:
- First of all they are not known to get transformed into cancer hence please stop worrying.
- Secondly, there may be in fact slight enlargement that you must have noticed, but these are independent of the body's control system. So they might have caused for no obvious reasons.
- There are rules when the lipomas should be removed:
*Sudden increase in size. This is done for 2 reasons:
1. to get rid of the mass which is not a normal part of the body and
2. to get a confirmed diagnosis.
*When they are on any pressure points like the back, buttock, resting parts of forearms and thighs.
* Unsightly, when their appearance looks odd.
* When on joints or pressing in the muscles.
I hope this answer helps you to get a proper diagnosis, and get a proper further treatment. Please feel free to ask for more if you need to or if you feel that there is a gap of communication.
